I'm getting this issue now too, driving me nuts. Wasn't occuring prior to the last patch. Went through the usual punkbuster fixes, updated drivers, disabled overlays, etc. Get disconnected every few minutes with this error.
OK - So I started this thread so I'll post what I have learned.
I have been back and forth with PB support and have been looking at my logs and apparently the problem (for me) is that PnkBstrB.exe stops sending/receiving heartbeats. The error message is not explaining the real problem.
The one thing that has worked for me so far, but is a pain in the neck is this...

Sorry about the crappy video, but I didn't make it.
The way to make this work is to start the game, then ALT TAB out because PnkBsterB.exe isn't running until the game fires up for me.
Then you have to change the Recovery settings.
Good luck. I hope it helps you guys until they fix this.
Thanks for trying, though. I think I may have solved this. At least I was able to play a game or two without being kicked. I don't think I was able to do this before.
I run Windows 8. What I did was create a new (local) user account. That account already had Origin installed, so I launched it, and signed in with my regular credentials. I then launched Battlelog, and was able to play there.
I don't know if this means that there actually is a "disallowed" program that I run on my other account, but at least this way I'll be able to play through the "appreciation month" while I troubleshoot the issue with PunkBuster.
