"An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system."
I get this error and I am kicked from whatever TF2 server I'm in.
I've tried these fixes but it still happens.
I just did a clean windows install on my PC and that's when the problem started. The only program i've installed besides steam so far is spotify and my drivers. Does anyone know any other fixes?

This happened to me when I did a clean install of windows to set up my SSD. I don't actually remember how I fixed it but if I do remember, I will post here.

So when you did the clean install of windows and re-installed steam, did you have tf2 on a external hard-drive or something and just dragged and dropped the files from the external to your main hard-drive. If so try "Verifying the Integrity of Game Cache" in your tf2 options on steam.
EDIT: Try this even if you didn't use an external hard-drive.

1- Go to your computer properties (there are many ways to do this, my favorite is Start+Pause on the keyboard. You can also right-click "Computer" and go to Properties).
2- Advanced System Properties.
3- For Performance, click Settings.
4- Click on "Data Execution Prevention" tab.
5- Turn on DEP, Apply, OK, OK, close the system properties Window.
This work for me ;)

Try running steam as an administrator and then "Verify the Integrity of the game cache" and then restart steam afterwards
EDIT: Also, I've been looking around for the last 15 minutes or so and some guy said to follow these instructions:
1. delete everything in the steam installation location except for "steam.exe" and the "steamapps" folder.
2. restart you pc
3. run steam from the installation folder (you could try running this as an administrator even though he didn't say to in his instructions), not from the desktop shortcut. (an update will be downloaded)
4. verify the integrity of the game cache
