Can I use SAM [Steam Achievement Manager] to lock my achievements?

I know many of you might think why would I do that, but mainly because I like unlocking achievements and since most achievements are unlock, I wish to lock 'em up and unlock them again. But the main question is: Would I get banned?

Maybe, maybe not. These sort of programs are 'use at your own risk'.

True, it also states that the chances are for being vac ban is improbable.

People have been game banned for using it

I don't see how VAC can detect it, unless one uses it while connected to a VAC server. I see hundreds of people with blatantly hacked achievements and no VAC ban. Still, I would avoid it completely. I doubt you could relock them.

But those games are protected by vac anti-cheat right?

What if I use it on one game? That isn't using Anti-Cheat [Neither Game anti-cheat or Valve Anti-Cheat]

I don't know and I don't want to give false information on something I know nothing about.

Better safe than sorry.

I'm a big achievement hunter on Xbox Live and to be honest, I would never want to reearn any achievement again. Which game is it btw?
