How to protect yourself? I guess you just have to ignore the message and DON'T follow the link.

Permanently BannedI keep getting those messages from my friends as well. I never followed that link because one of my friends told me it's a virus.

I have no idea what you can do after you've once clicked the link. What might happen? Well, maybe you lose your account just like your friend.

About the steam account, maybe message Valve/Steam Support to help out. They may do something to help return the account since it's an account hijack.
Hope your friend gets back his account.
And any mod who's kind enough please edit the title of this thread (massage).

^Try downloading and running Malewarebytes. You should get a free trial of the pro edition or whatever. It has been a pretty consistently good anti-vir/anti-maleware program that I've used at home for free for some time now. Also use it to help fix other people's computers and it gets almost everything.
AVG is nice too.
If neither of those can remove the virus, and you know where the virus is you can boot into safe mode (usually f8 while computer is starting up) and manually delete the file(s) causing problems.
If it is a super nasty virus and none of the above works... well... have fun formatting your hard-drive/re-installing your OS.
Oh, or hopefully you have a system restore point? That should generally do the trick too.

Permanently BannedYou might consider shutting down your computer immediately if you followed it. Some viruses just 'die' after a shut down. I would even starve the computer of power for a few days and hold the power button for 15 seconds with all the sockets off just to make sure no residue power remain. Then delete the file with command prompt and fullscan with Anti virus. I'm just that paranoid. If worse comes to worst, I would reinstall the OS.

Permanently BannedJust so we know, what antivir / firewall do you run, and your friend ? So we know what softwares the malware is able to break through.
I use Avast/Chrone, but Avast not reported about virus, my friend who lost accaunt use AVG Antivirus/Chrone.
