You will never stop cheating. Here at work and also at home, I have 2 computers sitting side by side. I don't play online, but if I did and had a penchant to cheat, nothing would stop it. People who lack integrity will find a way to be jerks. Attempting to locate cheaters will also "catch" some innocent ones and tag them as cheaters. Suppose I have some arcade game called rebel running and I am also playing chess online. Your detector might see "rebel" and think I am cheating. What if I rename my executable? Of course, there may be some way to accomplish the desired goal and I am not clever enough to think it up. My suggestion is to find people who are honest and play with them. If you find a cheater, then noplay them.
