I think this now proves beyond any doubt online poker is rigged. Obviously, FTP is using some mutated version of SimCity to install doom switches and rig the shuffle. I knew it!

Okay guys, this is how this works: When a program sends info to the internet it uses a certain "port" (this is a software thing, not an actual hardware port). There are hundreds of these available, and really any program can use any port, but a lot of programs use standard ones. For instance, email programs usually send via port 25 or whatever, nameservers use port 43, etc.

Norton keeps a list of these and up until now probably the only program that ever used a certain port was Simcity, but now fulltilt has decided to send data through that port, and Norton just assumes it is Simcity. That's all that this is.

(tech guys, please don't nitpick at the obvious small errors I have made here, I'm just trying to explain it in terms that maybe make sense)

Problem is probably Norton thinking it knows what the software is when it doesn't -- not FT.

Oh, and use AVG, not Norton.
