VAC - false positives ( STEAM )

[Sethioz]

just a warning to everybody who has steam based games.
VAC DOES give false positives. its confirmed now !
For whole year i only played svencoop mod for half-life. I didn't even had anything running with steam..
well exept msn, winamp, firewall and cmd sometimes.
I'm pretty sure that VAC gave false positive because i blocked it from communicating with my system.
When i entered game then steam wanted to communicate with ''csrss.exe'' (process) .. but i denyd it.
after blocking it for like 2 weeks ... i got banned by VAC. So my guess is that it had something to do with VAC scans .. so when you block it .. then VAC detects it as some unknown hack.

I also blocked this stupid ''gameoverlayul.exe'' from connecting into internet. I have no idea WTF is it .. or what does it do. but i doubt that it was cuz of that .. cuz i always blocked it. i got banned after i blocked steam from communicating with system.

just in case i mention that ... sometimes i also had some other programs running (cmd based programs)
also .. im using MCW - monitor calibration wizard. game is too dark .. and i cant bother to turn brightness up on monitor...so i just use tool for that. but ive used it for long time .. so i also doubt that this gave false positive. im still guessing its because i blocked this stupid steam from communicating with system.

Ill ask from steam if it can give false positive and post reply here.

gameoverlayui.exe is the steamfriends acces ingame, if you press shift+tab(i think those are the default keys) it opens your steamfreinds and overlay over the game :)

yeah now i know what it is, but it does not explain why it wants to connect into internet. i had it blocked and i was still able to use it...and see friends..etc. overlay simply lays over the game so you can see steam over game, it has nothing to do with connecting. VAC is just stupid and those retards have no idea what they do...i wouldn't wonder if soon they consider msn or even skype as malicous (cuz you can cheat in CSS with mic, somebody from other team can tell you where enemys are) and make you get banned for using it.

I would asume it would just overlay too, but it seems as if it replaces the default steamfriends while you're playing o__O
so basicly its useless crap that could be made a lot better ^^

Much like blizzard, If you read their EULA ...
They'll state they'll hook you up with their very own trojan.
The purpose of that is to check up on your stats and if you're truly cheating yes or no.
It gets you banned sadly ...

How do i know this? One of my members had explained me this ...
He had blocked what blizzard had implemented into their game.
And much like yourself, He got banned ...

He contacted them about it, And they referred him to the EULA ...
Yea, That's right ... Those fuckers are allowed to nest some fucked up lil trojan right into your comp that'll tell em everything.
Like, You buy the game ... You do what you want with it right? You own a retail copy of it ... You paid what? 60 - 80 $ /€ for that?
You do what the hell what you want with that right? You bought a piece of their share ... You paid what they worked for ...
Now why on earth implant something that totally disregards your freedom of choice? Like ... You choose whatever you do with purchased material right?
Alright, I know most of ya guys don't buy games ... Much like myself over here ...

But, Just think of the sense like ... As if you bought the game and that happens to you, Just like one of my members.

i doubt it spies like this. it can be made clear, but i don't feel like poking it much. poking VAC prolly means getting banned, well i have tons of accounts which i can use to test the scanning process, but don't really feel like it.
it could be done with olly or maybe monitor disk usage with filemon or something like that, to see what it really does.

VAC ofcourse ignores every word and says, you did use hacks or cheats. however i don't grow some kindergarden here, so i do not lie about such things on my forum, when i say that i did not use any hacks, mods (my own mods), or cheats. ALL i did was playing SvenCoop for whole year or even more maybe. as mentioned before..i did use fraps time to time (it is not a fucking hack you steam tards) and other thing i did was denying steam from communicating with my system files, using ZoneAlarm's program control.

There is one more thing bugging me, but VAC should not be active when you are not in game, but you never know those fuckers.
i think i had steam open while using colored aimbot on last chaos, but i can't remember exactly if i had steam open or not, however if i am not in game, then VAC should be disabled ! VAC should be only active when you enter VAC secured server, if its active all the time, then it is serious scam, i can hack and cheat all i want in my own server.
