A while back i found pnkbstrA.exe in my task manager and thought nothing of it since i was playing a game at the time and guessed that it must start with the game..
Only to find that the version of punkbuster installs several files, and a service.
I don't know about you lot, but this really pisses me off. i uninstalled it all, cleared up the services it created etc, and the next time i opened a PB game it all reinstalled. What gets to me is that they don't ask permission to do this. In my opinion, being able to install files to the System32 folder without permission is a big no-no.
Now every time i do some benchmarking, i've got yet another unwanted process to close.
