[QUOTE="Crazy Newt, post: 133900, member: 1595"] I think AV is the LAST step in security, and if it's ever actually required to save you, you need to investigate your policy configurations and make sure you are well-versed in common social-engineered threats. That said, most of us need some kind of AV program installed, because there is always that first time. I've been using the built-in Microsoft Security Essentials tool that is include in Windows 7. I've had trouble in the past with Steam updates and situations when the application would not connect to the server, and by temporarily disabling the "Real-time protection" in MS Essentials settings, I was able to successfully update or connect to log in. After which I was able to turn on the real-time protection again without any problems. Also, there was a big update to Windows 7 (and other MS products) this week. Depending on when you last turned on your computer, or how you have your system setup to handle updates, this could create problems. I was not able to connect to Steam until after these updates were downloaded and installed. So, check to make sure your OS is updated first, and if necessary update and try to install/update Steam again. [/QUOTE]
