Strange toolbar pop-up on Steam
« on: July 07, 2014, 01:27:13 PM »
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature... its just new, and that concerns me.

I was browsing through the Steam store site, using Firefox and not actually logged in to my Steam account. When I clicked the page for a specific title (Dungeon of the Endless), a weird toolbar showed up at the top of the viewing area that claimed it was from Avast, and seems to have been trying to offer me deals on other places (e-bay) to purchase this title.

This toolbar didn't show up when I looked up a few other games, but did come back again on that specific game.

Not knowing what it was, I didn't click on it.

I just ran a boot-time scan less than a week ago and nothing showed up from it, so I was reasonably sure my system is clean, but this is now bothering me... has anyone else experienced this toolbar, is this a bug, a virus, or is this a new feature through Avast that I haven't read about yet?

That seems to line up, as Ciuvo was one of the additional names in the link data... its just new to me, then.
 
Thank you, Asyn!
