*UPDATE* GAMEHACK explanation

It's pretty much obvious now, but anyway, here's a bit more info about this shyt.

First of all, the GAMEHACK #80332 is not a bug by itself and according to the person I've spoken to, that specific kick is actually a detection of rsHook or to be more precise, one of its files - aimbot1.menu

How punkbuster works these days?
I can't claim this to be 100%, but they are most likely going through every running application's memory and are then looking for known hack patterns.

Anyway, the way GAMEHACK bans are done is the following: PB detects that specific file (aimbot1.menu) and its contents, so all they had to do is paste some lines from the file to an IRC channel you're idling on and when PB scans mIRC.exe's memory - it finds the pattern and you're getting kicked.

An example of a string PB is looking for: *code here*

/msg #crossfire *code here*

And everyone who will play anytime whilst that mIRC session is running will get kicked.

What they posted all over the irc:
*removed by admin*

After talking to kaiz, we've remembered that there is also virtual memory used, called swap.

So here's a little update to meez' solution: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/community/columns/tipsfortechs/dlpgfile.mspx?mfr=true

After enabling this option in registry, the swap file will be cleared whenever you shutdown windows.

To make sure everything is clean, reboot it and join an ET server without irc running.

Unfortunately, there is no other real solution to this because the next time someone posts it anywhere, you will have to reboot again. :(
