If you're logged in with admin priveligies, then that's what they have.

I would hope thats not what he meant, because that doesn't do anything by itself. See my original prop bet.

I will prop bet you $1000 that the Party Poker client cannot send files (outside or it's own directory or subdirectories) from your computer to it's server.

It most likely doesn't actually do this. But it most certainly can.

[GoldSlugger]

nope. What protocol would it use?

[OrcaDK]

It'd user whatever protocol it likes. It could easily send the data along the same ports as the actual game data, but it could also easily do this over HTTP / any other normally open port. And as to the actual protocol, i'd guess TCP.

It's just to make sure you're not running a bot.

Party, while retarded, is a publicly traded company and won't do anything malicious to your computer. On purpose, anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, a publicly traded company purposefully doing something malicious to your computer is as ridiculous an idea as a major music label including malicious unreported spyware on its music cd's that infects user computers and prevents mp3 downloading.
