Make exclusions for Steam and report it to Malwarebytes.

It's not a virus. Your 'antimalwarebytes' (which I certainly hope isn't a real thing, and is instead merely 'malwarebytes' the program that you brutally mistyped) simply doesn't understand the idea of 'not scanning known things' any longer.

Definitely update Malwarebytes, it shouldn't be detecting Steam.

I don't like the all white, bright Malwarebytes update. I'm going to rage on their forums later.

Thank you for answers, you are right, i mistyped sorry(fixed) and i have already latest version of Malwarebytes so ill try report it to Malwarebytes then

I'm running my weekly scan but haven't encountered this before with MBAM.

Yeah, it's not lying...you got something bad cookin on your pc brother....but it's not steam.
You been tinkering around with non-kosher things lately?

[GeneralZero]

No, i have reinstaled windows and i just moved my steam from old HDD to new HDD, scanned my PC with nod32, Malwarebytes, TDSSKiller, and still showing all clean.

Its really interesting the 'false positives' in steam that have been posted as of late.

I wonder..

Steam is not immune .. I'm sure they have been hacked.. or are being hacked on a daily basis..

They think they are all secure and what not.. but there is no such thing.. considering government entities have been hacked.

Imagine.. they let whatever on their services.. just one.. is all it takes.

It's a false positive because the scanner program has changed, not because Steam's distributing viruses, Red.

So they have to infect Steam's download archive, trigger an akamai update, somehow cicurmvent their scanning, and get around the verification process. That's a quite impressive feat.

Or the anti-virus/malware software has a false positive because Steam does share behaviour with a trojan, like triggering file changes from remote. And these companies love to show you false positives in order for you to think that stuff actually works.

I have malwarebytes...I'll have to test because steam as a whole has NEVER shown up as a virus.
There is the posibility that he's got something that malwarebytes is picking up on...
You don't just get false positives from something like this without there being other factors involved...

I have MalwareBytes too, never flagged mine either. But false positives happen, which is why this recommended always:

I just scanned steams program files folder with brand new updated malwarebytes trial and absolutely nothing came up. I would suggest you delete malwarebytes and steam and reinstall fresh from both sites. You obviously have something going on. Scan your entire computer, check your registry for anything strange, especially in hkey current user/software

It's a false positive. GameOverlay.exe is part of Steam.
