Since SigScanning was mentioned, I am VERY very scared. On a listen server, both the Server AND client dll are loaded into the same process. VAC would be scanning that process, and may not be limiting itself to the client.dll boundaries, and indeed, if VAC detects Signature Scanning behaviour, it might ban you.
I think Alfred needs to hear about this. Has someone else forwarded this to him? Or made him aware?
