Steam does not have any kernel-mode components.

  Steam asks for admin to be installed and asks for it again to install more features related to screen sharing. To me, any app that asks for admin is suspect.

    Admin privileges aren't the same thing as a kernel-mode driver. Steam does require admin to be installed, but it does not install a kernel-mode driver.

    Root and kernel are different levels.
