I think we should give Steam benefit of the doubt, a multi millions dollars business like Valve should know better than anybody to implement security measure in their code and their distribution control mechanism that will prevent a malicious or even disgruntled employee (if one ever exists, I doubt that) to maliciously alter the Steam code or issue another "evil version" that can be distributed on their secured bread-winning Steam network. With million technical savvy and security-conscious HL2 users around the world using Steam, I think if there is any thing malicious in Steam, you will know that sooner if not later and it will be announced on slashdot or other technical savvy website straight away.
