diese *.exe ist bei mir sowohl in C:\Windows\system32, als auch im Ordner \PB bei Need for Speed Pro Street enthalten. Bevor ich das Game installiert habe hatte ich diese *.exe nicht. Desswegen gehe ich davon aus, daß diese benötigt wird um Online zu spielen.

Ist ein Bestandteil des Punkbuster Anticheat-Tools. Seit der PB-Clientversion 1.732 (Veröffentlichung Freitag 25.08.07) haben alle nun zwei nette PB Services mit den niedlichen Namen PnkBstrA.exe sowie PnkBstrB.exe laufen, dazu noch einen netten Kerneldriver PnkBstrK.sys

Even Balance's anti-cheat monitoring software "Punkbuster" for games such as Call of Duty series, Battlefield, and other multi player first person shooters. A recent update (25th July 2007) has caused issue where many people have had to update their firewalls\routers to allow it through as it is a new mandatory part of the anti cheat software.
