hi all

after i started et:qw for first time, i startet the good old ET again, then my Firewall pops up with PunkbusterA.exe and PunkbusterB.exe wanna access to the internet.

Is that a new Punkbuster tool specially for quakewars or what?

thx in advance.

It used to be some beta version (maybe final now ?) of punkbuster which runs as service in windows, which means you don't need administration rights to make pb to work.. or whatever.
According to pb the beta is limited to persons who signed up for it... how i got it while playing cod2 is a miracle to me.

Anyway to remove it:

Run that program en press uninstall or do what Lightning said (however that doesn't remove some files from the system32 dir) ;p

(00:11:12) (@snausages) punkbuster runs as a service now
(00:11:18) (@snausages) so you can run games that use it without needing admin rights
(00:11:33) (@snausages) vista requires this, and it's better practice generally

better to remove it when you have admin rights tbh
