JEDI Comport

Hey i didnt know if anyone else used steam or not, but could someone help solve a problem?

Okay I use steam to load up my jka program, but it needs an update. But the update is a trojan virus lol. So i cant update steam without risking getting a virus, and i cant ignore the situation because i cant run steam to play jka. Thats why i havent been on in a few days.

Any ideas of what is going on?

Its an auto update, and I am running avg... go figure lol

I use AVG for anti-virus and Steam to load Jedi Academy. My game has never once since it's first install tried to update, as the game is too old to even have any updates. If it's trying to update there is something strange going on. Though if it's a 3rd party update you're trying to do, don't. Jedi Academy should already be as up to date as it needs to be when ran through Steam.

One thing you can do to try to bypass whatever silly thing it's trying to do is right click on Jedi Academy through the games library, hit properties, go to the 'Local Files' tab, and click 'Verfiy Integrity of Game Cache'. That should check your files and repair anything that might be preventing you form being able to play.

AVG has a strong tendency of claiming things are viruses when they aren't, simply because it isn't recognizing the file. Steams update is an official one, and they aren't in the business of including viruses.

Honestly I would change your Anti Virus to Avira or Comodo...but I'd pick Avira over Comodo.

Syrena it wasnt the game doing the update lol. It was the actual steam client itself!

But i fixed it, i think. I just turned off avg and downloaded the client update. Its working for now! Thanks for the input!

Just add it to the exceptions list and then you leave it on.

It's still strange that it gave you a red flag at all though. Steam has never set my AVG off. We should have the same definitions. O_o

Just throwin' this out there...Seems relevant. The issue's come up before.

Okay, back to square one again. I am having yet another issue with the steam app trying to update itself before it lets me start it up.

This time its giving me this little white icon in the middle of my screen with a downloading scanning bar in the middle. It will do this for a while, then when it appears to be done, it restarts all over again. First it says 'extracting files...' and then it says 'Installing update...', and even 'Failed to clean up, continuing...' and it goes back and forth. I tried shutting avg off, I've tried rebooting, and I tried uninstalling the entire program, re-installing, rebooting, and re-opening it to the same thing happening, again and again and again. This is one of my two days off and I cant play now because its broken, again lol. Steam doesnt seem that reliable to me..

Fixed it! Had to run it in safe mode to let the updates work. The update went through; for future people having the same issue.
