this has never happened before, it has started 1-2 days ago.
avast scans daily and ran a scan with mbam and both says 0 threats.
also, i haven’t installed anything new lately and i only surf the web with sandboxie.
ive seen that, but i doubt if there is a malware that specificaly wait for steam to update a game to connect steam.exe to this address.
it doesnt happen in any other times, and it only started 2 days ago.
and avast full scan + mbam full scan with rootkit scan resulted in 0 threats.
i know that, you dont understand me.
MBAM full + threat scans with rootkit = 0
avast full scan = 0
i checked if there could be a malware that would cause steam to connect to that address when updating a game (which even sounds rediciulous).
so no threats, and steam.exe is a safe program, steam.exe triggers this address when updating games.
no you still dont understand me.
i know that mbam and avast scan FILES and not web-traffic.
what i try to say is:
steam.exe won’t connect to a malicious address by itself, if it was something bad than it would only happen if a rootkit/virus tells it to (file in the pc).
and scans says 0 threats, so it has to be a native steam.exe call.
its a game update to dota 2 and it happened with ark game updates.
there is nothing to be infected from.
if it was on my side then scans wouldnt say 0 threats.
That is what Eddie is saying. The IP address that Steam is connecting to has an infected site. Nothing you can do except avoid the site until and if it is cleaned. You are not infected as Avast has protected you.
