Valve SoftwareValve will be bringing to Steam, Anti-Cheat technology that it hopes will thwart the current storm of Hackers and people who are smart enough to exploit the current games for their own benefit.

Users will not notice anything has changed next week but behind the scenes Valve will be hard at work testing this software and logging any cheating violations into their database.

Valve has also advised any users of Steam games with cheats installed, to remove them as anyone caught with such software will be permanently banned from playing on secure servers.

If you have any cheats for multiplayer games installed on your computer, now would be a good time to uninstall and stop using them. When a cheat infraction is detected, the offender will be permanently banned from playing on secure servers.

In their latest news Valve also mention that there has been progress on the new Half Life 2 rendering technology that Doug Lomardi will be showcasing next Wednesday the 30th over at G4TV.
