for the past 2 days, ive been getting this message on tf2 "An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system. You cannot play on secure servers".
i tried verifying integrity of game files, re-installing, etc. i don't know why this happens nor how to fix it, so if anyone can help me out that'd be nice.
Thanks.

I got it atleast 2 times a week. I reinstalled windows and it solved my issue. I literally tried every suggested fix on the internet but the only thing that actually worked long term was reinstalling windows.

First try going into your steam folder and deleting everything but the Steam.exe and steamapps (make certain steam is closed when you do this). Then start steam up again. This used to fix this issue for me back when it was more common.

Since the forums got nuked, there's only the cached version left. Hope it helps.

this isn't super useful but when this happened to me, I decided to just "wait until it fixes itself" and it worked, I did absolutely nothing.

Deleting program files/steam/appcache has worked in the past for me, I've found that one to be the most consistent fix.
