Is steam idle master safe?
It's safe if you don't do anything really stupid (like running it while playing a VAC-secure game).

+1. I always run the game only, even when it don't have VAC security.

Same goes for every kind of online purchase, really.

Idle Master is no longer supported. Just go with ASF for that reason alone.

Never heard of someone that got VAC Banned from using Idle Master. I use it a lot. Even while playing other games.
It just simulates you running a game. No reason to get banned.
True Idle Master is no longer supported, but it still works for me, so I'm still using it.
I personally didn't like ASF. A group on Steam used Idle Master code and created another program called KDB Card Dropper. I haven't used it yet but will surely give it a try once IM stops working.

Idlemaster has worked perfectly fine for me to this date, but now that I've learned about ASF from this thread, I'm gonna have to look into that! (FYI for anyone else who like me was wondering what that stands for, it's Archi's Steam Farm - http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/gCxhN/archis-steam-farm-asf-idle-master-alternative-windowslinuxos-x)

Then i suppose if i have to use it will stick with ASF but as many people that said it isnt that safe makes me worrying a little, anyway guys thanks for clearing it out and helping me:)

It still depends what you understand by "safe".
Program | Can trigger VAC? | Will trigger VAC? | Requires steam? | Still supported? | Supports multiple accounts? | Supports offline farming? | Can you get banned if Valve decides they don't like you? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ASF | No | Not possible | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Idle Master | Yes | Probably no | Yes | No | No | No | Yes |
SAM | Yes | Possible | Yes | Yes | No | No | Yes |
All of those three can be called "safe" as noone of those is confirmed to do trigger VAC. However, if you call "safe" a possibility, rather than actual effect, then only ASF can guarantee being VAC-free, as IM and SAM use DLL hooking method into steam client to trigger game played, while ASF has it's own client and does not require steam running, it doesn't have to be even installed.
