If you have any programs that add screen overlays (performance info, team chat GUIs, overclocking add-ons ...), turn them off and back on one at a time to look for what's causing issues.
If you're using anything like AutoHotkey, some of its scripts will be flagged as cheats, though I think they'd raise a different # violation.
There's a good chance your steam account is now in the private blacklists some third-party sites run. Good luck with that; you now have to convince EvenBalance, the anti-cheat developers, that they screwed up... and then convince all of the third-party sites that EvenBalance agrees with you and admits they screwed up. Until then, many servers won't let you play. Your best odds there are to identify the program causing the issue and contact EvenBalance.

The best one I ever heard was "My mom wants me to stop playing games so she downloaded a hack and played my account and got me banned!".
