The threat of a ban

[Shakespeare]

Does anyone who has used the "banned" software AND received the e-mail have a firewall installed?

The reason I ask is that I have used pokerprophecy on occasion (version 4), but have never received a warning e-mail. I use the Empire party skin and have a firewall installed (firewall in my router). I also see that pokerprophecy v6.x can only be used with firewall software installed.
