There is no better software.
Punkbuster is less invasive, works better, has more compatability with other systems, but at the end of the day it will still lag you when it performs its scans.
Valve Anti Cheat is possibly the best solution, but its not meant for MMO's.
Gameguard is too invasive. Its kernel hooks will make you cringe. If it cannot secure a hold on the kernel it will shut down your computer.
XTrap is just a piece of crap.
THe real solution, yosei, is to have none at all.
Had any of the people at outspark attended the 2007 game-developer's conference, EPIC games gave a lecture about dealing with cheats, hackers, botters, or anything alike.
The solution is to get rid of them manually. Threatened with lawsuites individuals will most likely not continue. Using software based solutions are only temporary, and cause tremendous collateral damage to a population and performance.
Prosecution can occur in local jurisdictions.
