    It's a cheat detection client that built into the game. Just make sure when you try and play online that you have it enabled, otherwise you could find your self getting kicked out of a lot of servers.

    Its a program that scans all players on a server where it is enabled. It checks them for any cheats or hacks they may have enabled that it has down on its regularly updated 'naughty' list. It has to update frequently in the server this can cause pings to rise slightly in unusual cases, but it's very rare for this to happen. it's free, compulsory, and comes with (I THINK) the first patch that was released.

    Since it's been part of Americas Army it's stopped a lot of the cheats, although, as you said with CS it was carp :/

    CS = Counter-Strike, the most popular multiplayer online game there ever has been.

    Punkbuster is built into the game, you just need to enabled it in the options.
