Did you put in a steam support ticket / read the official forums? Apparently my computer has downloaded (and supposedly applied) the Jan 5th update 3x now... so I don't know what's up with that either, but it's not a big enough deal to worry about. If nothing else there's always a rebuild (good reason to keep your windows partition separate from everything else.)

I didn't say that was the answer, I said that may be a final resolution (which may or may not fix your problem...) The first thing I asked was did you put in a support ticket / check the steam forums for any similar bugs/solutions.

General fixes-everything solution is delete winui.gcf (in steamapps/) and clientregistry.blob. Might fix some steam-related issues. However, it may be an issue with your windows install/firewall.
