If you are running MSE (Microsoft security essentials) and are getting wierd Punkbuster kicks then try this
We have to tell mse that PnkBstrA.exe / PnkBstrB.exe and bf1942.exe are good guys so
1. right click on mse computer status icon in system tray
2. select settings
3. select excluded files and locations
4. browse to C:\windows\System32\PunkBstrA.exe
5. Hit add
6. browse to C:\windows\System32\PunkBstrB.exe
7. hit add
8. browse to C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe;
9. hit add
10. select Excluded processes
11. browse to C:\windows\System32\PunkBstrA.exe
12. Hit add
13. browse to C:\windows\System32\PunkBstrB.exe
14. hit add
15. browse to C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe;
16. hit add
17. Hit Save Changes
You are done
Now you can have your automatic MS Updates and your mse on
The only thing that you may notice is a slight delay just before you start a new map when you hit ready but you shouldn't get kicked anymore
(The file locations on my machine are C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\
your machine may have a different hard drive D: for example or you may even have a different windows directory
simply browse to the correct location for your machine)
