Hi stan, I have pasted my original my email below, a copy of which was sent to this list and to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Wed 28/8/2002 13:15:
Can you help please? I joined my usual server (80.71.2.84:27016 [5SI]Public Smoking Shed) a few days ago and was kicked to console with the follwing message: ********************************* You have been automatically disconnected from this secure server because an illegal cheat was detected on your computer. Repeat violaters may be permanently banned from all secure servers. ********************************* screenshot: http://reidme.info/misc/vac_screeny.jpg It was a fresh install of CS that morning as I had installed the Merc pack the night before and found the player models too confusing and I'd lost the function of the variable crosshair to show aiming stability. I re-installed HL + CS, and backed up the sounds/sprites/models dirs and installed the Mercenary Pack v2.5 for Counter-Strike (http://clanfmc.xrs.net/). I replaced the models folder with the backup but kept the sprite and sound changes. I also downloaded HLirc (http://www.cscentral.com/hlirc/), which is an irc client for the Half Life console. These are the only two changes to my HL install. I unloaded the HLirc script from Mirc as soon as it happened. I went back to the server and I never got kicked again. Until the kick showed up on the servers stats page, and a few clan members pushed the CL to ban me from the server all together. Below are the specs of my system: WinXP Geforce 2 MX 64mb (using Detonator drivers) Athlon TBird 700mhz @ 133x7(933mhz) 256MB ram SBlive player 1024 Only other games installed are Red Alert II and Yuris revenge. The server in question is run by www.clan-hq.com Basically, some people now think I cheat, and they are wrong. I'd like them to know they are wrong.

Paul, Can you post information about your config, so we might try to figure out why you were VAC'd? In the past, there have been problems with voodoo cards, WineX, and other things, in regards to VAC. Maybe if you post some specific information, we might be able to track down what caused this false positive.
