Cant open Steam or any games

[MoonMang]

I honestly dont know whats going on... if I click on Steam, it dosnet open, if I click on it after waiting a while it says its checking for updates then that closes, then nothing happens. And if I click on a game, it wont open....

run steam as admin, if that doesn't work try reinstalling steam.

Ok

and also and I am sure you know this but the steam library will keep all your games that you have bought so don't worry if your worried about losing your games

Do you know how I can run it as the admin? I can run the setup as admin but I dont think thats what I need to run.. But I'll try again

I wasnt worried about losing the games.. I was worried about the time it would take to download them again! XD (If I had to)

right click the steam icon and it should show "run as administrator"

I tried to re install steam but then it said that there was an error. Heres what it said:

Error opening file for writing.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe

Then When I exit out of the error message it says this on the Steam setup window:

Can't write: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe

since the computer can't 'write' the program into the computer that can only mean you have a virus or malware and you need to clean up your computer and get rid of the source

This happened to me the other day. I tried everything anybody suggested but nothing seemed to work, I restarted my computer and everything was back to normal. If you are going to remove malware I would suggest useing Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) and ADWCleaner. They can both be found here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/ You need to run both programs as administrator. ADWCleaner is located near the bottom of the page. Hope I was of use to you.
