Just on a completely off-topic side note, using the free version of ZoneAlarm is one of the best ways to NOT defend your computer against attacks coming from the network. See http://www.matousec.com/projects/pro...ge/results.php for suggestions on which firewall to use.

He is but there could still be "security holes" in him acting as a "human firewall". Although let me add: none of us - other than Empire and h4x0r themselves - knows how Empire checks this and it's just how it should be.

After how we defended him against Cheathappens, I can hardly believe that he personally would upload intentionally infected versions of his trainers to GCW. And, even if he did, it would become obvious within days, if not hours, that (almost) all Sicheats trainers on GCW are different from the originals and those on GCW (almost) all contain some kind of malware. I find this completely unrealistic!

Sure. And I already answered this, look above.
