I've heard of people getting banned just for having software installed on their computers that could have been used to modify other programs or games, but not necessarily the one they got banned on. So in a way, you can get unjustly banned. VAC may have detected some illegal software on your computer that may have not even been used on RUST but was probably used in another game. Either way, its kinda unfair.
For all of you making jokes, stop being faggots.
"teh almightyz VAC NEVER maks MISTAKES!! LAWLZ"
Okay, first off, NOTHING is perfect. If you honestly believe a computer is incapable of making a mistake, then you are flat out stupid. Sorry.
Second, if it were you in this guy's situation, then you would want some support rather than just "nope, you are a stupid cheater who deserves die. leave".
I mean seriously, I keep finding new ways that this forum is stupid every day.
I keep finding new ways people somehow believe a computer can mistakenly run a .dll injector into a game in which somehow downloads itself, and runs itself giving the user speed, aimbot, walls, esp, godmode.
"It's not my fault it must be a false positive!"
This would be more than just 10,000 users and the people would be unbanned, since Valve keeps logs on all bans anyway.
