Does the PunkBuster Client scan all my files or just the game files? 


PunkBuster only looks for cheats both in files and in running 
processes. PunkBuster does not store data about your system 
in any way, neither by writing to files nor by transmission 
over the network / Internet. The only transmissions made 
by PunkBuster from your computer to anything outside your 
computer are simply codes that will help connected PunkBuster 
Servers authenticate you for online multiplayer gameplayen does).
