Put it to you this way, it's either steam or SecureROM (or something like it). Which do you hate more? Also steam isn't verifying anything. That's a one time thing done during the install. No when you boot up steam it connects to the steam servers for updates (if you haven't for a long time and you have multiple steam games, that takes a long time and can crash steam) and to throw some adds at you. That's it.
