If you're VAC banned your steam account is banned so that will be ALL games including the ones you buy later on on that same account.
Also, having hacks on your computer doesn't get you banned, you get banned when they are found in the memory while playing a game. If you are indeed banned you have used cheats ingame. You can check VAC status by going to settings in Steam.

If you're banned I suggest getting a new copy in the store make a new steam account and never use cheats again. I hope then you learned your lesson

ummm, im PRETTY sure (could be wrong) that Vac will only ban that game you cheated on... last time i checked that was how it worked.

If you check when you login to steam you can see that your whole account get's Vac-banned. You won't be able to play on vac-secured servers, no matter what game, it's bound to your steamID.

Valve also mentioned it multiple times on the forums that you should NOT purchase any games on that account but buy a new account in the stores.

Drocona is right if you cheat in a game say css and u get vac banned all of your steam games on that account are vac banned i know this from experiance but i lernd my leson casue i bought all new games so dont hack!

i don't hack my mate does. can u get banned for a game u have fools. i check settings and theirs its says that my vac status is ok not like vac banned.

Ok now I lost you.

Unless you cheat in a vac secured server you will NOT be VAC-banned.
IF you cheat you will be VAC-banned within a couple of weeks.
IF you get banned your STEAM account gets the ban, not on a game.
IF you get banned it will show something else that VAC Status: In Good Standing.
IF you are banned every game you purchase afterwards on that banned account will also be banned in VAC secure servers.

In other words, don't USE cheats on SECURE servers. (better not at all actually) If you don't use them you will not get banned in any way. If you are banned purchase a new copy in the store to get a new STEAM account
