Ditto. I'm on a Linux machine right now with NoScript, and I'd really like to have a look at this.

Gotta agree here.

If you actually download a binary file like a .scr file and execute it, without knowing the one who sent the link to you, you deserve getting your account hijacked. Plain and simple.

Ok, hold hold on, did he actually download an scr? If he did, then shame on you, repeat grades 1-5 and come back to us.

If you just clicked the link and it installed a keylogger (Which sounds like the case) then it isn't that much your fault, but you were still stupid enough to click a random link. Steps To Solving! pull out your internet cable, go into safe-mode, and delete. Problem solved. Note: You said you went into safe mode, BULLSHIT. Windows cant deny access to any file while your in safe mode.

EDIT: Holy shit, You ACTUALLY DOWNLOADED AN SCR FILE! REPEAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! :evil: :evil: :evil:

I thought this was some horrible virus from robot hell that was taking the internet by storm, but it seems to just be a case of human stupidity

I had my steam account stolen on Sunday, just got it back today. Fast support by a great company, and I know how it feels, so sorry to anyone else that had theirs stolen as well. Mine was stolen by a keylogger.
