Yup, had quite a few people sending me a link to this funny little trojan as well.
Seriously though, if you use a bit of common sense you should be safe from all kinds of malware working like this one.
Basically, you have to click on a link which comes along with some rather odd text. Then you also have to click download on a panel opening itself from a link that should redirect to a picture, but instead it gives you this download of a .src file, hardly suspicious. But even if youve gone that far, you still need to execute the file for the virus to take effect.. It couldnt be much more obvious imo.
To Orome, it does not only affect your steam account, so dont use that file (unless youre running it sandboxed to check what happens).
And to all those for whom this warning came too late, a full reset of your PC is probably the best and safest way to avoid any further problems caused by this.
