Yesterday i was playing CS:GO with some mates, and they started saying i should install a voice chat thingie called "Arialvoice", i dislike these because Skype does what i need it to do and VOIP chat in the game is good enough but i did it.

When the download finished i dindn't install the program but alt-tabbed back to CSGO, and it froze so i opened task-manager and noticed that steam was complaining about not being logged in, so i tried to log in but it just said that it couldn't communicate with steam servers (http://gyazo.com/68b0a1e591ee6511fbb6fc45ac159115), i retried today but it still doesn't work, it also logged me off on the steam-website, which i can't log in on because my password is wrong, when i can log in on different computer with the same password.

It also changed the steam-icon to a default windows icon i think (http://gyazo.com/d33f8c8e7f78038c266994f70628253c)

I have tried turning the firewall on and off, disallowing and allowing the program with the firewall,
I've tried going through the troubleshooting on their webpage, i've tried running steam as admin, I've tried using the -tcp launch option but nothing is working, i think i have to reinstall but my games folder is around 500GB big and i don't want to reinstall all my games, the folder is so big i can't move it to a seperate location and uninstall so my games aren't gone.

check the security level of your router because i had the same issue and it was because my router was blocking the ports that steam uses so i had to change some router settings and it worked so just try changing the security level of you router
hope this helps
