Sure this is all possible. It's my CLEAR impression that this is not
common practice. AUTO232 occasionally crashes for very unknown reasons.
Sometimes you even have to turn off and on the Pc as pushing the reset
button or CTRL_ALT_DEL is not enough.

All in all AUTO232 does in good job and gives reliable results and
until now there I have not seen any cheats.

These are all rumors coming from one person. He told me the same. When I
asked for evidence of these claims he couldn't provide any!
