| If you plan on playing a game that uses Punkbuster. You should let it run. Otherwise you risk having the 'Punkbuster' sign come up mid game and you'll likely be kicked. | |||

| Its needed for a PB game. You could go into services.msc and set it to dissabled then it wont run at all. When ya play a PB game just re-enable it before your play. Its not anything dangerious. Ive had it on my system now for 6mths or more and have no issues. If ya system is lagging due to RAM usage,, um get more ram :P | |||
