Windows xp has its own firewall built in, doesn't it? I don't know if anyone here has heard of it, but microsoft released a new spyware program with an active proctection firewall to stop spyware, which i happened to have installed right around the time my steam stopped working. I was thinking maybe my steam got messed up because i had xp's and that spyware's firewall running at the same time causing them to conflict with eachother? I uninstalled and reinstalled hl2 and steam, and its working now. I have that spyware program turned off and i'm scared to use it again because i don't want to have problems with steam again. Do you guys think that might have been the problem?
