So,after i did a format to my pc i downloaded some games that i wanted,but i forgot to download steam.Today,after discussing with a friend,i remembered that there was one particular game that i had to download it from steam(War of the Roses).I downloaded and installed steam,logged in and tried to update the game.After updating the game,i went to my steam account,found the game and i clicked "start now".A window popped up,asking me to log in at steam.I typed my username and my password and i clicked "log in".But then,an error message popped up saying that the steam cant connect to it's servers.I went to my antivirus(F secure) and the clicked the option DeepGuard(because i once read at a steam help column that steam had problems with the F secure DeepGuard option).At deepguard i found some applications that had been blocked but they all had an allowed privileges.So,now i dont know what to do.I would really appreciate any help.

Is this problem still happening?

I've had this problem before, but that usually was either to do with my internet, or I just restarted my PC and it worked.

I have this problem too. I was installing Bully: Scholarship Edition on Steam and then F-Secure informed there was virus in the steam folder, well it deleted it and after my steam hasnt been the same. I restarted my PC and everything worked normal for a while and then I went to steam forums to post something about video game and it gave me error 16 when I tried to post it. I have done everything what steam tells you to do to make it work but no. I can't be in online mode in steam but i can play games. Well, it isnt really a solution to restart your PC to just buy something from Steam Shop. My virus protection software if F-Secure. I have done that deepguard thing too so you can't blame me that i haven't tried hard enough. Anyways, im off to bed. It would be nice if someone knows the solution.
