Every time I try to start up WoG on my computer, I get a dialog box saying:

If you are using the steam version, make sure steam is running.

this is often caused by anti-malware or anti-virus programs.  we know that both ThreatFire and look'n'stop caused this to happen.  try disabling your anti-malware / anti-virus programs before running the game.  also, if you search the forums for ThreatFire, there's a recent post about how world of goo and ThreatFire can peacefully live together on the same computer.
