Ok, So I tried joining a game and my norton auto protect box popped up and said something about a trojan and quarantined.. so i closed that out yadda yadda… tried to join again same thing…reinstalling norton or source doesn’t work… The only way I believe is possible is turning off auto protect.. but eh… I also went into quarantined thing on norton and right clicked it and deleted it permanently but when I try to join a game again.. trojan comes back
and its not only me either

lol of course they are…J-bomb’s too.. has to be something with steam then right? I’m sad.
What file is it saying has a Trojan? Alternately, go into Nortan and tell it to ‘ignore’ the steam directory.
mine says it’s chilling in the local settings area…
and then steam says cs is already running or something to that effect

hehe hi amanda…
My friend Jamboree had this problem last night, I don’t know what the *edited* causes it other than *edited* with symantec/norton, but it isn’t a virus or trojan.
Only way to fix it is to turn off auto protect. If you don’t believe me go to the official steam forums, lotsa folks there having the same problem. Get rid of symantec/norton. They are terribad.
you should still be able to turn it off, i had a problem similar with clemson’s norton system, i turn it off when i play and it works fine
Okay, here’s you a workaround if your using the Antivirus from WCU.
Download the picture attached and find that in your Norton.
(Fixed that for Kuros, BAH!
)In there, check the ‘Exclude selected files and folders’ tab.
Then click ‘Exclusions’.
You’ll want to add in.
c:\documents and settings\
\local settings\temp also
add in file type
*.tmp
click okay and you should be good to go.

Good thing this isn’t 4chan.
Lol no I hope not I have enough problems with just staying on the server let alone being able to play at all…
Yea, James was having problems with this all the sudden like the other night. He even reinstalled source to no avail. No problems with McAffee yet.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hannah montana didn’t write in pink? noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, wait when did this happen…

I heard mcafee was crap tho..?McAfee works wonderfully. It may not be everyones favorite but it doesn’t randomly eat PC’s like Symantec products.
I’ve had no problems with McAfee. Has protected me thus far, as far as I know at least, and I’ve had this computer going on 4 years now.
