Valve is already fixing it ...

The only way to make a program non vulnerable is not to install it on a PC and store the disk in a lead box. Recently somebody managed to access systems that were air gapped (ie, not connected to any network.).

Btw, you can earn big bucks by finding exploits like that and telling them to the companies. For example, Facebook paid something like 50 K to a person who found a big exploit. Valve rewards similarily, I think.

Not so recently one researcher made uncorroborated claims that an air gapped computer in a security research lab had been infected by malware. Uncorroborated even by his own co-workers and peers.

The only confirmed universal infection is rumour, which is able to jump the air gap between human ears.

Steam do have many flaws on quite a few games. I had been with them since release and was an avid half-life fan beforehand. There was time when we could not believe our eyes when steam did installed AMD programmes on an Intel hardware on one ocassion, and this was not the only invulnerable incompetence they had done on our PC. To top it off, I had BBOD on window 7 yesterday trying to install Arma 2 mods after a break from PC and with new Hardware upgraded.
