Valve removed a game from its Steam video game platform and store because it contained malware, according to media reports. In its notice to users who downloaded the game, Valve said affected users may want to "consider fully reformatting your operating system." The game was called PirateFi, and billed itself as "a thrilling survival game set in a vibrant, low-poly world where you can choose to play solo or with others in multiplayer mode." It's not known exactly how many people downloaded the game, but its store rating had a 9/10 score out of 51 reviews, according to an archived version of its Steam page. Valve removed the game this week, as reported by PCMag. A post on Reddit showed the message the company sent to players who downloaded the game. In the notice to users, Valve said it removed the affected game builds from steam, but said it urged users 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." Valve said a full system reset would "ensure that no malicious software remains on your machine." Read more -here-
