Make sure you have visited this thread prior to coming here and preformed the resolution.

Spyware, Trojans and Virii can be very tricky to remove and identify. There is no 100% single application to remove all the different variants. The absolute best way to clean your system is manually.

To understand what is happening on your PC, there are various policies that control privileges on your PC. Spyware, trojans and virii change these policies so that they can control your PC and have the proper privileges to work their malicious activity. The unfortunate outcome is they often turn off or remove certain admin privileges inside the policy to prevent them from being removed. When this happens, PB can no longer function correctly with admin privileges to scan various areas inside the O/S. When this happens you receive the following kick message.

ScriptLog: HC::TM() KICK NOTIFICATION: <players name> has been kicked for an undefined reason: YOU HAVE BEEN KICKED VIA PUNKBUSTER (FOR 0 MINUTES) ... RESTRICTION: INADEQUATE O/S PRIVILEGES

If you want assistance cleaning your system manually. I will need to see two logs, both hijackthis and winpfind. The downloads and instructions are list below. You need to do the four steps below aswell before you generate the logs.

1) Download HiJackThis = Extract it and Run HiJackThis.exe
Choose Scan System and Make Log
NOTE: HiJackthis is not something to be played with if you are not aware of processes and needed applications. It deal directly with the registry.

2) Download WinPFind3U to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files.
It will create a folder named WinPFind3u on your desktop.
Open the WinPFind3u folder and double-click on WinPFind3U.exe to start the program.

1) In the 'Files Created Within' group click 30 days,
2) In the 'Files Modified Within' group select 30 days
3) In the 'File String Search' group select Non-Microsoft

Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
Paste the information back here in your next reply.
Make sure "end of report" is shown at the bottom.
NOTE: WINPFIND3U replaces the original winpfind.
