PnkBstrA.exe - PnkBstrB.exe

[necrun]

I have couple of questions and I needed to be sure.
1. Can someone tell me what's the difference between this 2 processes PnkBstrA.exe - PnkBstrB.exe

2. If you CAN disable PnkBstrB.exe those that mean that PB-GGC can't take a picture?
or is PnkBstrA.exe takes pictures and PnkBstrB.exe reads memory??

I appreciate if someone can explain this with more information so we can take the right precautions to avoid getting banned

I think they have to do with Key packets and memory reading, not sure tho.

So the question is that, even if you disable PnkBstrB.exe you can get banned by
GGC-Stream / Hall of Shame Hall of Fame Photos.
Anyone knows a good picture blocker from Battlefield 3? and I know some people might said Google it, but you know if we Google we might find some software that will harm us and make us even being targeted first, so anyone has any good one that can share.

I have wondered this myself, but never really cared. Is there nothing on Google about this?

I have heard an admin talk about his "tools" he uses for his BF3 server but the only thing I walked away with was that one of the two PnkBstr.exe takes a screenshot every 10-15 seconds. But not really knowing all there is to know about the anti-cheat system, I suspect they have programmed one of the PnkBustr.exe to work like an anti-virus that scans the BF3 files in x86.

I think it is weird how most of the dlls stopped working only in the last few days; the last PunkBuster client update was over a month ago. Maybe it is the servers that are causing trouble now. Has anyone checked if there are excessive ports open when connected to a server?
