Punkbuster disallowed program/driver

Hi, I receive the error " Error Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'player's name' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827] " I did all the recommended steps like updating directx, microsoft c++ package, drivers etc., but the issue still appears 1-2 times a day. Probably you could give me the link to the list of PunkBuster disallowed programs/drivers (i failed to find one)? Maybe i have some software installed that it does not like, e.g. teamviewer, screanshot or stream programs?

    The easiest thing to do is turn off all non Microsoft programs until you find the one causing it.

    The matter is that something can be installed, not necessary launched. I already tried to switch off everything except for OS itself, firefox and the game and the issue remained. That's why I'm asking for the link to Punkbuster blacklisted software/drivers.

    There's no list anywhere that I have found.

    By "switch off" did you do the clean boot as mentioned here:

    ?

    Sure I did the clean boot with the following RAM check.
