I´ve been vac banned on games i dont own
I´ve been vac banned on games i dont own, specificly:
Team Fortress 2
Counter-Strike: source
Day Of Defeat: source
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
Half-Life Deathmatch: source

And two of them i´ve played:
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
and Unturned (game banned for unknown reason)

it was 3 years ago i know but at the time i didnt know why, and i dont know to this day.
Only thing i´ve done was downloading an fps booster cuz my pc was trash (like i was in gaming at the time) it helped with my fps but i got banned.
Steam support never told me why just a link to a forum that i did not find useful, or they never replied.
if anybody knows why i got banned on all those games please tell me...
(and dont say something like "blah blah you cheated" or "blah blah if you wouldn´t have cheated you would not be banned" because that´s nonsence i am 100% sure i haven´t cheated so it´s like valve just took my money)
if anybody has any useful information about my bans i would be more than happy to hear it

a ban in a source game gets you banned in all source games. also, non official servers can be set to autokick accounts that have a ban, regardless of what game its for

the reason for the ban is simple - known cheats detected
a cheat is any program that alters protected game files, it does not have to give an advantage

the ban is permanent, make a new account and start over in the banned games on the new account if you want to play on secure servers.

you can stop making threads, you got your answer already, the answer will never change

if its a VAC ban
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/9/882959527688934488/
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7849-RADZ-6869&l=

No one on the forums can remove nor investigate a ban. Only falsely applied VAC bans are removed automatically by the system at a later time.

Known cheats were detected on the computer when the account connected to a vac server. A cheat is any program that alters protected game files, it does not have to give an advantage (skin changers, 3rd party crosshair mods, etc).

You are responsible for the security of the account and what is on the computer(s) the account uses. It does not matter who was using the account to cheat. Bans are not instant, whatever you were doing at the time of the ban being applied is unlikely to be the cause of it.

Steam/Valve will not release any information about what was detected, that information will only help those that cheat and make cheats.

Please read the linked material and click the INFO link next to your ban notice on your profile for more information.

if its a GAME ban - you will need to inquire in that games forum or website

make a new steam account and start over if you want to play on secure servers. that is all you can do now. make sure there are no cheat programs on the computer (a cheat by steam definition, not yours). if you need to, reformat the computer and reinstall the OS to make sure its clean. this is not a ban appeal forum, we can only tell you how the system works, not what the system detected.

Because a cheat that can be used for one Souce game can also be used in other games that share the same Source Engine.

Cool story and all but this is a user forum, what are hoping to achieve here exactly?

The bans are all permanent and cannot be appealed against, you're wasting your time trying to convince anybody here
