VAC Banned because of disabled kernel patch protection?

I've been thinking of this.. a few of my friends got vac banned without cheating (also me) (inb4 boohoo ur lying) but both of them had kpp disabled using a 3rd party patch..
So i am pretty sure that almost all of these "VAC BANNED FOR NOTHING" are about kpp bans.. the thing is that why would they ban for KPP? just because you have a patched system that doesn't mean you use it to cheat.. also if u want to know what i mean with using disabled kpp to cheat just ask me

I don't even know what that does tbh.

As far as I have seen it, it seems that i finally gonna see VAC bans getting removed if everybody is right about them being falsely banned.

Disabling KPP Allows you to use unsigned drivers.. This is also known as patchguard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_Patch_Protection
Some cheat sites use this to deploy a driver for hiding a cheat

Interestingly, I also have been VAC banned, though I didn't cheat on this account. I do have KPP disabled, so you might be onto something here. What I'm wondering though, is much like DEP, those with DEP disabled were given the VAC authentication error, I'd assume that the same would be done with KPP, that if it was disabled you would be kicked until you reenabled it.

Is absolutely no reason to disable kernel for normal legit PC users...Only two reasons to do that;

- To install illegal copies of games and software.

- To use cheats from a "ghost" driver, so they are "undetectable".

Both of that reasons are bad.. and i think is a smart move form Valve to target this.

Don't talk smack about pirated software/games :^)

Also, not everyone is a normal PC user, some of us spend a lot of time at our computers and heavily customise them, which is why I feel it would be unfair for VAC to target KPP.

But I'm not entirely sure that this is what has caused the bans.

So you have no idea what you are talking about?
How about being a developer yourself and not feeling like paying 400€ for driver signing if you want to work on your own driver for whatever purpose..
Also what does kpp have to do with illegal software? or games

Another blindfolded ♥♥♥♥♥♥ who doesn't feel like reading the thread but instead just wants to keep ranting the same thing when that might actually not be the case

Thing is.. that.. isn't any "good" reasons to disable kernel. Even people with heavily customised computers won't do that.

No-one is saying disable kernel.. it's to disable kernel patch protection to run unsigned drivers.. There are drivers for many things and not every driver is signed
