heyhococo Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I agree with all said posts, thanks for the warning Stuart. As also mentioned, whatever you do, do NOT click on any links given to you through Steam. Always verify it with your friends first. It wouldn't (and hasn't yet) affected me, as I haven't got them messages, and I have Norton Internet Security which has protected me from many "Back Alley" websites... I could do with renewing it though. It's running out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhastalord Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I know there are not a lot of victims on ETS2/ATS2 compared to other games, but do take care about persons that want to give you a picture link of their CS:GO items but, instead, it will automatically download a virus. NEVER click on a really weird link and be cautious whether it is a not known person or a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp14 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 This thread is rife with misinformation. Nothing will happen if you open the website. It's when you open the downloaded file that things go wrong. Do not open files you don't recognise. Also, note that it shows the extension. Windows, normally, wouldn't do this, however, he has named it "blahblah.scr.exe", and windows will not show the ".exe" because it's a recognised filetype. This is why, in my options, I have it set to always show filetypes. I also don't download things from websites I don't trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. I know this isn't related to Steam Virus' but it's still an occurrence for people on Steam to get set IP grabbing links for DDOS attacks, especially during Streaming or online gaming. The best bet is to just avoid links in general, that way no harm done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MReaker Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Its always dangerous to open links of unknown persons ... Don't forget that!!! @MRedstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, youareanidiot.org is not harmful anymore. The whole thing is really old and back then, it opened a huge amount of browser windows with a blinking smiley singing "you are an idiot hahahahhahaha" and then it crashed your PC. I recently visited the website in my virtual machine, completely without any security, and it only showed the animation [youareanidiot.org/youare.swf], nothing more. Even though some antivirus programs might warn you, it is safe to visit. Just turn your volume down if you use headphones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trucking Gekco Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Just don't add anyone on steam you don't know IRL and don't click on any links unless you trust the person. Problem solved. PS: Those who post pictures here you should redact part of the link because chances are someone will come along and manually type it in to their browser.

It just protects you from someone trying to log into your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
