dac Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Haven't done much gaming lately. The client is set to auto-update. There were hundreds of flags from immunet after a boot up that steam was identified as w32.map.ransomware.rwd Virus total comparison https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0bda997391c06bce6b70db30808136427c83f972d6d48c3554c2a042eff09224/detection Steam.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellgamin Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Using Immunet (abbreviated herein as "I-net"), I checked the Steam.exe* file that you attached to your post #1. I-net reported that file as clean. I then downloaded the Steam installer from HERE and installed Steam on my Virtual Machine. After installation, I checked the newly-installed Steam.exe file. Its SHA256* is identical to your file's SHA256. I-net also reported that newly-installed Steam.exe file as clean (to be expected, because it is identical to your Steam.exe file). I then had I-net check the entire Steam file folder (lots of files in that folder). I-net said the folder's entire contents are clean. I then started Steam, registered an account, and loaded a free game. I-net never made a peep. On my computer, for one, the Steam folder and the file, Steam.exe, check as clean according to Immunet. Of course, my Steam folder does not contain the same settings & game histories that your folder contains. If Immunet continues to flag Steam, you may need to do a right-click Immunet scan of individual files in your Steam folder. *Steam.exe's SHA256: 0BDA997391C06BCE6B70DB30808136427C83F972D6D48C3554C2A042EFF09224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie58 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 There have been other users reporting conflicts with the Steam gaming software & Immunet. That's why it's recommended to create a custom Exclusion rule for Steam's entire Program Files folder. That should eliminate any further False Positives.
