Whenever I tried to connect to any server on CTF, I kept getting kicked because of a "Secure Connection Failed" window.  It said that it couldn't connect to the VAC system securely.

Is there anyway to fix this?  There is a Steam FAQ about it, but since I am in college using their internet connection I don't have any control over the ports I can allow and whatnot.  Any tips?

Okay, I'm getting this error more now and it's really starting to piss me the fuck off.

Whut, Gnar told me via xfire that you may know of a file that, if deleted, will get rid of this error?  He said this was a long time ago though, back when we were DM.
