It could be that you have picked up some malware or a virus, or it could be that some of your systems files are corrupted and so are unable to perform as they should. If your Windows system is running slow or acting strangely, it may be difficult to pinpoint exactly what is causing it. Do it EXACTLY as suggested here below.including running Steam as admin.Corrupted Windows Files: What they are and How to Fix Them And remember, before you playtest a game when you do something to try to fix this, you MUST do the file verification for that game before you play it. It still sounds as if you maybe have something such as software or firewall that is negatively affecting Steam in a normal boot.īe sure your firewall settings are allowing Steam and games through. ĭo not post any personl information that may accidently be in the background if you do, such as having Steam open and your login visible. You can use this site and give the links here. Posting screenshots of ALL of your installed programs at this point maybe could also help. You don' t have to worry about the AV that way, or other programs for that matter.Ĭheck the list again, please. So that seems to take care of the AV programs on the list but did you make real-time exceptions for Steam in Avira also ? This is why I always suggest using safe mode with networking. Originally posted by Convuko:I have uninstalled avast and installed another one called Avira. The search box on the main forum page of course, and not here. Just search "Avast" and you can see all the evidence. One you find the real cause, you can always reinstall programs, one at a time if you wish, that are found to not be part of the problem.Īvast has been seen here to not get along with Steam also. Avira is great, in my opinion.ĮDIT.We and that support page are just saying to "temporarily" uninstall the AV program to test the issue. No Steam or games issues here on anything from XP to Windows 7, what I have now. That list is a bit old but still a good source of information.įor example.I have Avira. Some just don't like Steam and we see this quite alot in the forums here. You need to always make exceptions for real-time scanning for Steam in any antivirus that you have.
