Do not accept the trade. It is a scam. Your computer is infected with malware which attempts to hide itself as a Steam Support alert.

You'll have to clean and secure your computer and it will be fine. That photo you opened was an executable file disguised as a photo. Learn from this and don't open random files in the future.

I recommend using MalwareBytes and doing a Windows Defender offline scan, and if the problem persists, try the Reset my PC Option under Settings > Recovery.

Doubleclick isn't a big deal, just a major pain in the... ads? Basically, it just pops up ads every few webpages to pretend that you clicked it, generating undeserved ad-revenue. I know it pretty well because it's hard to name a single public computer I've used that doesn't have that one.

Intellitxt, though... that has me worried. Is that what your antivirus calls it, or the actual name? Judging by the name it could be one of two things:

• An annoying piece of software that monitors your browsing history to target ads at you.
• A keylogger... simply put, oh ♥♥♥♥, change your passwords now.

So yeah, if it was using Steam itself to create pop-ups, I'd recommend reinstalling the client one more time just in case and doing a scan with Windows Defender as a second opinion, just to make sure it's clean. Best of luck.
