When I went to use my computer I noticed that on Steam I had a message that a friend of one of my steam friends wanted to trade with me, and he linked to the person's profile. I didn't notice that the url was "http://steawommunity.com" and of course when it asked me to download and run a helper tool to verify my identity I ran it (because it seemed like a sensible improvement over the stupid mandatory email verification). Five seconds later I noticed the misspelling and moved the file to the trash, but I think it was too late. Windows defender quick scan didn't find anything, and spybot scanning of the file itself showed it to be clean.
But spybot refuses to do a system scan, closing immediately (I had just installed it so maybe I checked a wrong setting). Windows Defender is still doing a full system scan.
What the hell did I run? I uploaded it to kapersky virus reporting but they haven't told me the results yet.
