Embedded as resource svchost.svchost.exe in the .NET launcher HiddenAutoLauncher (913792a7cec3a062742f3390d7941a7e95aeeb7e1537e4a52590049d54c5c5e8), which starts it 60 minutes after first run. If the Edge WebView2 runtime is missing it decodes a Microsoft Edge Update setup to %TEMP%\MicrosoftEdgeWebview2Setup.exe and runs it with /silent /install. It then reads HKCU\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\SteamExe, terminates Steam.exe and several games, copies steam.exe to steam.back and overwrites steam.exe with an embedded fake Steam client (1d52f76213582b58cd3d0161dee345f42184b05a359607e4719f96c511e7fd3c, XOR with a 6-byte key, then a byte de-interleave in 24-byte blocks).
