The VAC system reliably detects cheats using their cheat signatures. Any third-party modification to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban. This includes modifications to a game's core executable files and dynamic link libraries.

umm... does mount and blade even use VAC?

If it gives you an unfair advantage over another player online, then yes vac will ban you

maybe im just being paranoid... since you only get banned when joining a vac server..I just want to know that if I play a game like L4D with no cheats whatsoever..will this "vac" scan all my other games(like Mount & blade) and if it finds a .dll hack or something like that..will it ban me.. or does it only scan the game that you are trying to play online..

Hm...Did you ever see anyone get banned for using FO3 mods?

I use Creative Alchemy for X-Fi sound cards that I have for Win7. It also adds bunch of .dll files in steam folders, but so far, i haven't got any VAC banned, and since it does not give me any advantage against other people, I probably won't be banned.

Thats true, they don't know everything, but if its popular or a huge, noticeable advantage someone is bound to report you or catch on. Having 3 monitors is not advantage that should be banned in my opinion because your not really cheating in the sense of better weapons or shooting through walls but on the other hand you can see more with more monitors.

If you are playing online(on a VAC protected server) with an altered/new dll file, there's a good chance that VAC will detect it and ban you.

Mount and Blade doesn't use VAC and it only applies to multiplayer games.
