The following applications have been known to cause issues with Steam and playing games:
Anti-Virus Applications - Any Anti-Virus program could potentially block Steam and Steam game access, especially when not properly configured for use with Steam. Please make sure that Steam and all Steam games are listed as exceptions in these programs. If the issue persists, please try disabling or temporarily uninstalling the program to test the issue.
Avast!
AVG Anti-virus *
BitDefender

But could i just download them on my laptop and then paste them into my steam folder on my pc through an usb stick?
Verify game cache

The STEPS, in order are...
1. Allow real-time scan exceptions for the entire Steam folder and test it again after verifying game files.
2. Disable the AV and test again after verifying the game files.
3. Temporarily uninstall the AV, reboot, and verify the game files.
Easy answer ? Perform step number 3 exactly and test the issue again after verifying the game files if you are going to try to play a game to see if the issue persists.
Got any other programs from that list ?
Yes, that is the part about verifying the game files that I mentioned several times and linked above. Probably because that bad AV program (Bitdefender) has messed all those files up and/or quarantined the .exe files for them, among other files maybe and the games won't work.
Seems pretty clear to me, but there may be other issues as well, as you did not answer my question in my last post.
Taking care of the AV program should happen first, though.
I have scanned the steam folder 3 times anyway and it is not saying that it's infected or anything tho
Well, that seems to suggest that you have not even taken the first step yet, as you should with any antivirus program that you use.
Making real-time scan exceptions for Steam in your AV program is important, as you seem to be seeing and realizing as of now.
However, that does not always work. And disabled is not the same as uninstalled and all traces removed, after which a reboot of your computer is necessary.
THEN verify the game files as suggested on the support page.
Afterwards, try to play that game you just verified the files for.
Again, you did not answer my last question. I respectfully ask that you answer that in your next reply.
Btw,no i do not have any other programs.
