elquellora Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I've just begun to play cod4 after two month of DoW2. I got this corruption error every time ive played so i updated punkbuster manually and now i get "nobody PunkBuster permanent ban issued on this game server for player 'nobody' ... GLOBAL PunkBuster GUID BAN 41d6eb8d" so i went here: http://www.punksbusted.com/cgi-bin/members...mp;query=Search i noticed there were two aliases which ive never seen or heard: vagrant and gotdank? then i noticed that they were issued on american servers. I live in australia and play on local servers for low ping I dont use whatever those red boxes indicate Is it possible i got hacked? and how can i prove that im not lying and have not breached anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You are banned because someone stole your CD-Key and used it to cheat: http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-viewban-41d6eb8d-vb125381.html Globally banned because of a Leaked CD-Key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Man Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 buy a legit copy from a retail store and reinstall your os with a proper anti virus program before playing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You most likely have a virus or keylogger on your PC that got a hold of your CD-Key and sent the key to the author of the virus and he used it to cheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elquellora Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) but now that they do have my CD key, why does it matter if i remove the virus, they've already got the serial no. i do have a legit copy. or do i have to buy ANOTHER...

Ice Man Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 or do i have to buy ANOTHER... new cd key = new guid your old cd key = old guid old guid = banned I hope you understand the equation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMagnet Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 if you do not remove the virus/keylogger it will just steal your new GUID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTaz Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Do this: 1st: Reformat your HD. 2nd: Refresh your modem to change your IP. 3rd: Install an Internet Security with antivirus and anti-spyware scanners and make sure they are updated daily. 4th: Buy brand new game from a game store. Dont buy online unless it is steam or fileplanet. 5th: Do not let anyone near your PC to play your games without you there watching them. 6th: DO NOT download anything from any site that may be malicious in nature! If you follow those rules, you will be fine. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
