Just be glad you guys can still at least play.

I’ve had to completely rebuild my machine due to issues with Avast vs. Punkbuster (in conjunction with Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 though). Totally corrupted my registry.

Yes, I’ve successfully recreated the error (by using System Restore points to go back to pre-install of Avast). It is clearly an Avast vs. Punkbuster issue.

Used Avast for quite some time now but looks like I will have to find something else.

Are you using the last avast version? (4.8.1227)
Did you just try using the Exclusion lists (on-access AND on-demand)? :

So avast can’t be detecting it…
Maybe you could try to disable rootkit scanning for a while, IF YOU’RE SURE THE FILE ISN’T A ROOTKIT.
