If I install Steam on a separate drive, will it keep my main drive safe from spyware?

I'm considering loading Steam onto a separate drive to avoid that annoying bug where it deletes everything when you uninstall it on Linux. But I'm also curious if this move would actually protect my main drive from any potential spyware associated with Steam. Would installing Steam on a secondary drive completely nullify those worries?

Actually, I remember the drive-wipe issue wasn’t fully fixed. I looked it up recently, and people still report problems. Also, if spyware were to hit your system, it can move between drives even if they're not connected at the same time due to other factors. Just something to consider!

What do you mean by "Steam spyware"? Just so you know, that bug where the drive sometimes gets wiped was due to a glitch from a while ago, but it’s been patched. If you’re worried about spyware, typically it wouldn’t just stick to one drive since that's not really how it works.
