Why is start menu 8 flagged by VAC?
Just wondering how someone utilized this as a cheat or hack... would make a pretty interesting story considering it kicks me off a csgo server if I forget to have it off.

You are talking about the VAC authentication error, and it is not about cheats or hacks. That is a process that blocks VAC possibly from scanning you. It is not about cheating.

"What typically causes this error?"

There are a number of common software conflicts that can cause this error. If you are running any of the following software, please disable it while playing:

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

So many users confuse the VAC authentication error for VAC bans and I will never understand this.
