Since Valve launched Steam, millions and millions of gamers have used the service to download games, patches, and other assorted content updates. So it was naturally that alarm bells began ringing when [H]ardOCP posted a screenshot from a reader reporting that his Panda Anti-Virus picked up an infection located in "c:\program\files\valve\steam\steamclient.dll". [H]ardOCP editors themselves had never heard of such a virus, and asked the site's readers to let them know if they had experienced something similar. For its part, Valve quickly responded, telling gamers not to panic. "With millions of gamers connected via Steam, I'm certain we'd know if it was a real issue," he said. "Best we can tell, this is a completely erroneous report."
