I am scum but need help...

Run a scan. Use Malwarebytes and/or SUPERAntispyware. The free versions are enough for either.

so you used a cheat and now you are afraid of getting banned? i dind't understand :|

Valve will all ready of detected you cheating, On the bright side you will only be vac banned from cs:go :)

Run a scan, check for PUPs by looking through your installed programs (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features) and check for any programs you've never heard of, and also looking through your processes (Ctrl+Atl+Del, then Start Task Manager) for suspicious ones.

I know you don't want to hear it but... You kinda deserved it. :P

item generator ? lol let me guess you found a video tutorial in youtube "how to generate a rare knife in CS:GO" lol

Install spybot and let it search, also Malwarebytes.

go to Steam\steamapps\common\ and delete the whole folder named Counter-Strike Global Offensive
restart steam and re-download the game

Umm, not sure how to put this. If this sounded plausible to you, there's probably 500 other unwanted things running on your computer too...

For future reference, when that friendly Nigerian prince sends you an email, it's not real. And you didn't just win 500 million dollars in the Spanish lottery.

If I were you, I would be less worried about a piece of malware advertising through my videogame, and more worried that you've been tagged for an impending VAC ban or that it may have sent you account name and password to the malware creators for later hijacking.

If you have already swept the cache files, clean-installed steam and got a fresh re-install of CS:GO, then I suggest running a thorough malware scan on your computer using Spybot S+D (and Malwarebytes as someone else suggested). Also, it wouldn't hurt to invest in a paid antivirus program (I suggest NOD32 by Eset, but that's just a personal choice). That should help prevent malware latching onto system files and restoring themselves whenever you believe you've removed them.

Dammit I thought this was another one of those fun hidden puzzle lol stories :(

It probably has nothing to do with CS:GO. Scan your computer for viruses, malware etc

I hope you find that piece of Malware on your PC.
Get ready to be VAC banned and maybe you should start thinking about a new Steam account.

You could contact Steam support and tell them what happened and what software you did use BUT if you are registered to be VAC banned Steam support will not be able to lift the VAC ban anyway.

The maximum that will happen is that you will have to re-buy a small amount of games if you want to play on VAC enabled servers.

Always run .exes on sandboxie first :P I would reinstall the game but there's no guarantee that will fix it. Check win startup to see if there's anything weird there. AVs sucks anything can be made easily undetected.

why does your tinyurl link take me to tremorgames?

Hm, yesterday I played with a guy that spammed the exacly same url, by any chance was it you?

Format C:

No "Happy VAC-ban-day" giveaway?

Closing because your spam link is a referral
