A malicious Steam game might have infected your PC, and you need to act fast if you installed it

A new indie survival game called PirateFi was launched in beta on Steam last Thursday, February 6, by a developer called Seaworth Interactive. It looked like any other survival game and was installed by more than 800 users, according to an estimate by Gamalytic. Unfortunately (or fortunately), Valve has now pulled the free action game from Steam’s storefront entirely because it hosted malware.
