Punkbuster got hacked and hundreds of fake bans are/were being added to pb streams, including a whole bunch of ESL admins. I assume this is related to that somehow.

theres probably a connect button somewhere in the server browser, click on it

manually update pb and pbsvc download them from evenbalance pbsetup.exe pbsvc.exe might help

Ok spent the last few days wondering why this thread didn't get heaps more attention from the community, but it seems it is only affecting people on 32bit Windows and thats hardly any of you

I've reformatted and put on 64 bit, couldn't wait any longer for a fix from EA that could take days.
