CS:GO VAC error, Steam Repair tool not working
I keep getting an error from CS:GO saying: "An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system. You cannot play on secure servers."
I run through the steam page on how to fix this, use the run command to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe" /repair"

This brings up a steam client service box and it never resolves itself.

Need help thanks.

Ps. Running Comodo firewall & Avast antivirus.

Maybe, maybe not. First see id the option gets turned on again at all.

If I run the command prompt as adminsitrator I can turn debugging off. (Windows 7).

Again? This indeed means that something's turning it on again.

Only as an administrator can debugging be turned off.

'Run as administrator'

This is not the question. The question is whether you can turn it off once or every time you reboot.

Everytime.

Then something keeps turning it off again. First, get rid of all the software you don't absolutely surely really need. Especially stuff that hooks the system. Because ringing out a virus alert right from the start would be paranoid, there are actually legit programs that do that nonsense. Unless it is a kernel debugger you installed, it needs the option to work at all.
