Re: X64: How to prevent punkbuster from secretly installing itself?
PunkBuster is a computer program published by Even Balance,
Inc. Its purpose is to prevent cheating in online games by
banning players.
It has recently been deployed in several popular multiplayer
online games, including the Battlefield series, America's
Army, Crysis, F.E.A.R., Call of Duty series, Quake III
Arena, War Rock, among many more.
Based on the description above, I would tend to presume
you're one of those who are inclined to cheat if you can get
away with it and PunkBuster is trying to keep you honest.
If it were a virus, they wouldn't be open about its presence
or what it does.
So, if your objective is to cheat, then you need to find a
game cheater's forum and find your answer there.
