Default Re: Cheating.....

Yes, it is theoretically possible for someone to download a trojan onto your machine, and use it to view your hole cards while you're playing.

In practise though, criminals prefer to use such trojans to gather personal details, and go around emptying people's bank accounts. Much more lucrative than spending hours trying to scam you out of your $50 buyin, especially when they have to play 8 other people at the table whose hole cards they don't know.
