I would agree with DSPet and Virus. It is all speculation. Nintendo's description of the error code implies that a cheat code was detected while online. It would take a long time for Nintendo to try to "scan" every Wii for the HAXX ticket. The thing is Homebrew isn't even the program used to "cheat". There are many other ways to use codes other than apps through the Homebrew Channel. It doesn't make sense that they are trying to target Homebrew for this reason.
Well, i have tested out online and i wasn't banned. as long as you don't do things like cheating to win or get higher ranks....like people on mario kart wii.

Just sheer speculation on my part, but I will say (from past experience with Nintendo) that they will only ban from cheating on competitive games. Rooting leaderboards was a big problem back in the DS days. They took some small actions against that. Never once did they take action against Wild World hacking (one could speculate that is due to a lack of resources to take action against such hacking). Whether they have these advanced scanning capabilities when they can hardly keep a steady online session going on their own servers is a question everybody should step back and ask themselves. Speculation will drive people mad. Just wait for a definitive answer.
Scanning your Wii seems a little invasive, and I don't even really think the system is capable of doing that. I'm sure they can determine whether a code is active or not, because they can check the save file before allowing you online by requesting data from your Wii. But I doubt they can scan and find the HBC on your Wii. It just seems highly unlikely.
The only time I've ever used cheats on WiFi are through AC:CF. And I don't even play it much anymore, so I guess it doesn't really matter. I'll just stop using cheats, since I don't use them much anyways. The most I use is the ACToolKit.
If you just dont use hacks or even use the HBC will you be ok?
because i want to go on wi-fi and i dont want to get banned
