i havent played for a couple weeks so i joined a game and right when i did it said malware detected by AVG and it got rid of it and did a restart of my comp but when i went back to play it said this...........i dont no if one has anything to do with the other or not......anyone seen this before

No idea bud. That is weird though.

I had that once back in Battlefield... or something along those lines. Turns out my firewall was blocking PB from working hense the fail message, may not be a solution but just have a peek at your firewall and see whats happening.

DH1,

Go to Evenbalance's website and download PBSVC and run it!

This will normally clear up most PB issues, including Service Communication Failure!!!     It has worked great for all my other games in the past that use Punkbuster!!

Good Luck!

I agree with Kulamonster.

I recently bought the Vietnam expansion pack and was kicked by Punkbuster. Depending on the OS you are running punkbuster may or not update properly. I had to download and run the program with administrator privileges, and also update the client versions for BC2 and WAW.

i ran that kulamonster and it seems ok now  ty sir
