PirateFi Game Removed from Steam Library for Pushing Malware


Valve removed an entry from their Steam library of games, suspecting it harbored data-stealing malware.

Users who downloaded and played the title on Steam were encouraged to perform full system scans on their devices, check for newly installed software, and even format their machines. “The builds containing the suspected malware have been removed from Steam, but we strongly encourage you to run a full-system scan using an anti-virus product that you trust or use regularly, and inspect your system for unexpected or newly installed software,” reads Valve’s email to impacted parties. Specialized software like Bitdefender Ultimate Security can prevent malware, including viruses, Trojans, worms, zero-day exploits, ransomware, spyware, rootkits, and other digital threats from compromising your devices.
