stopzilla keeps flagging steamservice.exe in my steam directory as a trojan virus.

anyone else had this?

Some malware camouflage themselves as SteamService.exe, particularly if they are located in c:windows or c:windowssystem32 folder.

Stopzilla is regarded by many in the anti-virus world as rogue software ---- not quite malware or a trojan but very close to it.
It gives an awful lot of false positives and has a virus like grip on the system.
Be very careful before installing anything that claims to protect your computer most "free" windows programs that claim to are either trojans or hostageware.
