Well, I'm really sorry to annoy you but your test proves nothing at all.

You have Panda Antivirus. Okay. It seems to mess with games so you need to exit it before launching games. Okay. Without an antivirus software running, you're afraid to be online so you disconnect. Okay. However, have you tried:
- unplugging the Ethernet cable from your PC (disconnect by hardware rather than by software);
- exiting Panda Antivirus but staying connected (you probably won't get infected during that half a minute when you try launching a game);
- running other antivirus software (you mentioned Norton Antivirus)?

So, I still believe you haven't answered my question (completely). You see, I'm trying to collect facts into the FAQ but I can't add the information you provided because they're only assumptions (or downright misinformation?), without deeper testing or confirmation from other people...
