Warning to you/I need a little help

Closed

Hello,

I am a steam game trader and I frequent steamgifts sister site steamtrades. Recentaly I got a request to trade from a random steam user.
He posted some seemingly random words which I assumed was because he didn't speak very good english. and a steam community link. Without thinking (DUHHHH) I clicked the link. It turned out that steam in the link was spelled steem. It got downloaded. I accidentlly pressed it, A warning poped up I made sure not to click run and raced to delete the file.

Should I worry about a virus? And should I delete my steamtrades post that contains the link?

My warning. :) Don't press random links.

You got the warning and didn't click, I think you're safe. Just run a scan of your favourite antivirus and/or Malwarebytes if you really want to be sure but IMO you can sleep on your both ears.

dude, just check their steam level and stuff. If they don't qualify, that is their steam level is 0 just like the number of the games they own, then just don't even bother reading what kind of bullshit scam they're trying on you.

Check add-ons in your browser settings. Look for toolbars, etc.

Also, get Noscript. Disable it anywhere you trust, keep it on when on shady websites.
