    Do you get banned for having cheats on your PC by VAC?

    How true is this?

    "VAC stands for Valve Anti-Cheat, an automated system designed to detect cheats installed on users' computers. If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing that game on VAC-Secured servers in the future."

    No lmao, they can't just check your entire pc for hacking, if you use one then it will be detected, imagine valve reading all your personal information, they just can't so it's definitly when you use one while the anti cheat system is active.

    Funnily enough, I was reported because of the long, drawn out argument about this, he gave me this main thread thing, then he gave me a link to a mod post that didn't even say anything about said thing, it's like people are rather dumb and need sad ways out of an argument.

    Imma report you for insulting a moderator"

    if you inject them yes, just having them on your PC no.

    it need to be running and messing with the game/memory files VAC scans the games files and looks for changes that are due to cheats. They may also look for other stuff.

    I got vac banned but it was never due to having cheats on my PC, Just running them while playing the game.

    VAC checks for handles / internal thingies. Having Cheats on your PC won't get you ever banned. Having them running will get you banned once their Signature is flagged.
