Have you taken the time to search the web? The first
response presented might answer your question, especially
since this would not be a Windows operating system problem!

There were lots of pages of links. You must not have looked
very well. Did you use Google?

No you have not looked for very well or did not understand my question.

All google turns up is problems people are having because their punkbuster
is blocked.

And the solution for them is to unblock whatever is blocking punkbuster.

I however don't like punkbuster for good reasons.

I play on punkbuster-free servers.

The reason is because punkbuster is

1. A system resources hog, and causes sound problems.

2. Dangerous/rootkit-like.

3. Can lead to system crashes.

So I shall one more time explain what I want to do:

I want to make sure punkbuster does not install itself onto my operating
system and harddisk, when I play games with
punkbuster-install-hooks-or-what-ever-you-wanna-call-it.

Bye,
Skybuck.

I did find the answer. I believe it was toward the bottom
of the first page of links, but I did read several of the
results of my Google search.

But, regardless of where it's at, I took the time to read
the results of the search and I found the answer to a
NON-WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM problem!

The other point is this is a subject that should be asked in
a gaming specific forum. It's a gaming problem, not a
Windows problem!!

The game installs a driver into kernel space, and thus it effects the
operating system.

Would be nice windows warns about such events in the future.

And could even block it.

Skybuck.
