We would not be able to confirm nor deny this because we do not have access to data about the application. However, one thing we can say is that it does open a window ahead of time and asks for permissions. If you are suspicious, close the software and ask yourself if your machine was really infected before you opened Steamunlocked again. Additionally, when exploring an executable file in your browser, look at the settings tab (usually in Adobe’s PDF reader) -you’ll see execution limitations which explain how certain functions are restricted in order to reduce vulnerability. These settings were made by developers as a way of opening secure executables on certain applications without allowing them any control or interaction on your computer beyond pre-determined restrictions.

If you want to unlock apps or content that is blocked by the App Store/iTunes Store, you should be aware of SteamUnlocked. This website offers to “unlock” these apps and content for considerably cheaper than what Apple would charge the user in their app store. Be mindful that this website might be containing malware or installing unwanted software on your device – read reviews and confirm that it’s just unlocking apps before giving this website any information about your devices!
SteamUnlocked is not a virus. It runs through the Steam client and it’s function is to help people unlock games that would normally require another key or code to become activated, illegally. SteamUnlocked unfortunately steals the activation code from someone else’s game that has already been activated on Steam network and poses as “the recipient” in their place so they can then share this with other people for free. If you are tired of wasting money on these types of products and you want to save time doing this, I would recommend using a service called STEAM KEY COPIER which will do all the work for you in just one click. This saves time and it’s really simple without any complicated steps involved just like copying your computer screen and pasting it in a text document.

The Steamunlocked.com website is a gaming tasks website that offers only Steam games as prizes for completing its tasks. Introduced in 2014, the site’s contents are stored on Github and edited by volunteers who need to re-upload the files when they change or edit anything so that you can’t redistribute them anywhere else without authorization or permission. There’s no download button anywhere on the page and nothing suspicious at all about it, aside from inaccurate feedback from many people online who think it’s just another scam or virus website masquerading as something other than what it really is.
No. Steamunlocked is a store that offers games you may not find on steam, and there’s no catch. They use Humble Bundle’s pay-what-you-want model to allow for inexpensive gaming “deals”.
However, if someone were having trouble getting an item from the store or getting their money back because of confusing purchase policies, the account might have been hacked and they should contact Steamunlocked support. The two issues are totally different so please be careful before blaming Steamunlocked for something else! 🙂
