VAC authentication error after clean install

I formatted all my hard drives and reinstalled a legitimate copy of window but I still get kicked from every CS game I try to play.. I've tried all of Valves fixes and none worked.

What do?

Are you using any other programs that are in any way connected to steam? I know I always got this error when using Steam Idle Master and playing CSGO at the same time. These steps always helped me fix it: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2117-ILZV-2837
