The picture is opened in a program that I don't see any reason should be able to change anything on the system, yet it can give you a virus. I kinda wish this was easy to believe, but I've read you can get a virus or malware from the meta data of a picture (hasn't happened to me personally). I've researched this question a bit before, and I have seen answers saying "Steam scans the stuff on the workshop" (which i kinda doubt) or answers such as "The game is running the file, and therefore can't make any changes to the system its self, the worst the mod can do is crash your game or delete game data" Don't get me wrong, I've been on steam for a long time and have gained several thousand hours on some games, but I'm still curious if there is any chance of getting a virus from steam workshop mods. I'm not sure if I should post this here, or on the security thread.īasically, I'm wondering how safe the steam workshop actually is. Alright, so this is my first post so I apologize for any errors.
