little late to this, but dug it up out of boredom . . .

IMO, PB can squat on it - I totally agree with the point behind it, the reason for it's existance, but it firing up whenever you're not IN a game is crap. Sure, installing means you agree to the EULA, and even if you were to setup a special folder for installation, how many other programs will dump things into WIN/SYS32? PB isn't the only program at fault for that . . .

But, honestly, I don't use it - there's gonna be cheaters out there under any circumstances, and people that are constantly finding new ways to flaunt the rules and get away with stuff - I guess we just have to deal with it or not play at all. But, if you do want to play, play harder and better - make their asses work for that cheat.

YES!

That is incredibly ridiculous....

In fact if punk buster had it their way they would be violating many countries laws to stop cheating.... Not a fan of cheaters, but seriously there is a line *it's not like murder and rape here*

Poor programming doesn't help.

Punkbuster is equally as nice as it sucks...

That annoyed me too, I noticed it first shot because of my registry watcher, and I stopped it... But how annoying.
