AN ISSUE IS BLOCKING VAC

[VargasAir]

ive been having this issue for the last,4 days. ive tried coonecting to a server when, "an issue form your computer is blocking VAC" ive searched it up and ive done everything videos discussions and forums tell me to and ZIP! please help

[DO NOT ADD]

This could be to do with Third party software such as

- Cheat Engine
- IObit Start Menu 8
- CCleaner
- Process Hacker
- DLL Injectors

If this is the case, close them down. Disable them. Make sure when you're running your computer these are not in the background.

If this does not work then repair the Steam service

-Exit Steam.
-Click Start > Run (Windows Key + R)

-Type the following command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe" /repair

- (If you have installed Steam to another path, please replace C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam with the correct path.)

This command requires administrator privileges and may take a few minutes.
Launch Steam and test the issue again.

Hope this helps.

I had a problem with steam a while back with some dll error and i fixed it. could it be that?
other than that i have norton but i disabled it and it still gives me the vac thingy

I do not believe that would be causing the issue but i could be wrong, i cannot say.

You shouldn't have to disable norton, just whitelist or give access to the game.

Steps you may not have followed :

Restore Boot Settings to Default
Kernel Integrity checks, Kernel Debugging, and Data Execution Prevention (DEP) must be set to default to play on VAC secured servers. To change these settings to default please follow the steps below:
Exit Steam.
Click the Start button, then 'All Programs', and 'Accessories'
Right-click on Command Prompt and click "Run as administrator..."
Note:
If you are running Windows 8 you will need to press Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin)
In the command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

bcdedit /deletevalue nointegritychecks
bcdedit /deletevalue loadoptions
bcdedit /debug off
bcdedit /deletevalue nx

Note:
If you recieve the following error when entering these commands they are already set to default.

The value is protected by Secure Boot policy and cannot be modified or deleted.
Restart your computer.
Launch Steam and test the issue again.
Repair System Files
There may be corrupt system files that are causing this issue. The following instructions will run a critical system file check on your Windows installation, replacing any missing or damaged files:
Exit Steam.
Click the Start button, then 'All Programs', and 'Accessories'
Right-click on Command Prompt and click "Run as administrator..."
Note:
If you are running Windows 8 you will need to press Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin)
In the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter:

sfc /scannow

Once the operation has completed please restart your computer then launch Steam and test the issue again..

---------------------------------

If you've followed all steps above from this post and my previous one then i'm not sure how i can help.

You could try steam support and putting in a ticket telling them what steps you've have followed and that the issue still persists.

(So if you've typed in the correct path with admin privileges close down Steam and Launch again, it might be an idea to close Steam down first then do the command above then try re-opening rather than repairing it whilst its launched)

Cannot say, just probably best if Steam was closed whilst trying to repair Steam. If you forget the steps just copy and paste them to a notepad or paste http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/412448158144434501/?tscn=1456378005 in your browser then you can look back whilst repairing.
