I just got one from Arizonchris. It's spreading here, clean yourselves guys.

Yeah, sorry about that y'all. The link was sent to me by a Steam friend (non-RW) in a Chat message.

Just booted up steam for the first time in a few days and i had 4 people post on my profile the exact same thing, I was mega suspicious, Then i saw this thread, Thanks for the heads up, I really don't want Malware on my new PC

I've read that if you're infected and sending these messages out you should change your Steam password. Some idiot made it to steal your tradable inventory items.

That's it, I care less about my trade items

Oh no! I got the link! HOW DO I DELETE IT!?

IGNORE IT!

If you don't click on it, nothing happens. Steam automatically clears chat after time, if on mobile there is a clear conversation button.

This only works because it's a click-bait. Once clicked on, it moves right along to the next fool who clicks it.

If I get messaged twice by the same person, I unfriend them. Solves the problem pretty quickly. If you're really unlucky I delete you outright.

Wow, you're ruthless with your friends huh?

Just don't click the link.

Yep.

Granted I never have Steam Chat on anymore due to never using it. I still get notifications on my IPhone for Steam messages.

Don't click obvious virus links. That's Internet 101.

If you want to delete the messages without opening it, there should be a tiny (delete) link next to the message. I used that with no problems.

Yeah, I didn't even get them in a chat window, They were comments on my home page.

I got one from you. Didn't click thankfully.

Here's a nice post about it.

There is another one that does a similar thing through chats. They sent a russian link that translates to something about free steam money. It takes you to a fake steam website where you can download a program. It has the same effects as this one. But when you put the pieces together;
Russian
Free US money
Non official steam site
Downloads .exe file

Then you'll see a few reasons not to download this...
