VAC bans are permanent, regardless of the *original* excuse you come up with.

VAC bans do not get flagged onto an account "suddenly". VAC bans are delayed.

VAC is an automated system that detects cheats in direct use with your account, in association with family sharing a VAC protected game and cheating from either account, or on an account linked with the same phone number at the time of the infraction that was also VAC banned.

All this and more is covered in the pinned thread linked above, including pages linked within it. Thanks !

Either a) Play on unsecured servers or b) Create a new account, purchase the game again and play via there.

All 167 achievements in 10 hours? and most of them unlocked at the exact same time? You must be really good at the game!

No you did not. That just shows more suspicion that you did cheat but does not get you VAC banned.

Correction...there is no evidence that SAM or achievement managers cause VAC bans. But like anything else, use them at your own risk.

SAM does NOT cause a VAC Ban

Malik's proof about SAM on this TF2 account

Unlocking achievements without trying to legitimately get them is just cheating to me.

Lots of people would agree with you. I guess Valve considers it not really "gaining an advantage over other players" directly, therefore as defined by Valve, it does not directly fall under the definition of cheating. But this is just my assumption.

If you watch the vids on Malik's TF2 profile that was linked, you can see SAM being actively used while connected to a VAC server. No ban and he says he has reported that profile and encouraged others to do the same. No VAC ban yet on it so that seems to prove it about as well as can be proved, I guess. Thanks.
