Weird Steam Error

[Jimb0_d]

Well every time I launch steam I get a weird error message which hasnt been a problem as i jsut ignore it and it works fine. However with this new update my steam launches and tries to update itself and gets to 26% but then the error occurs and crashes the game.

This means i cant update or get into steam at all! Here is the screenshot of the error, maybe some of you guys could help me out?

Just re-download steam and exit steam when you're redownlading. Hope it works!
