Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

This is nothing new. It was like that for years, but it is very annoying.

If you login to Steam for the first time. Chat (friend) always open up, and makes you online.

If you change settings to disable "Sign in to friend".

Then login to Steam again afresh (i.e. on a different computer, or when using Live CD), it will Sign you in anyway.
