kind of...recently bots have been detected who were playing at pokerstars. but their accounts have been frozen now! when 'theterrorist' was playing with johhny lodden and patrik antonius, he send them some kind of virus to see their whole cards. due to this (also because of lodden's ego), lodden lost millions to him. But you don't find this anymore too often.

Try playing the Micro´s on bwin, you won´t believe it! Not cheating though, just so many stupid raises and calls by EVEYBODY, that somebody is bound to hit something in those hands.
Only real cheating going on is collusion once in a while, but they usually get caught by the software after a while, or even quickly... Most of the "software" holes, if not all, have been plugged in recent years.
As long as there's money to be had, people will always try to cheat. Bots, collusion(very popular), hacking..... the ways are endless. The majority of sites spend a significant amount of time and money to ensure the threats are minimalized, but people will continue to try. Even some "PROS" have been caught cheating at some sites.
