You said you blocked incoming connections. If this were true it would block the TCP connection where the server sends the cards to the client.

BUT... even further, the part that scans your PC may not be located on the server, but in the client software (what you downloaded and what every once in a while asks you to install an update for). Hell if I wrote the software this is how I'd do it. On startup, search your computer for illegal software. If any is running, on login, send instead of what you enter as username and password, send 3 values, username, password, and "THIS GUY'S CHEATING!!!" or something like that, of course with details, perhaps a code for which illegal software it was. Same connection, in fact it's an outgoing not an incoming connection, yet your firewall does not stop it. That's why no firewall can stop a virus that you install and run on your local computer. There's no need for an incoming connection once the software's already on your local machine.
