If you have to use an activation disc there's a good possibility you will eventually be banned. However if you've never been online with your console you may at least be able to avoid the next ban wave which will probably happen next month as usual. When they ban your system they ban the console from going on Live as well as cripple the hard drive so that your saves wont be usable on a non-banned system (though this can be worked around). Your account will still be usable on any 360
It's hard to say if it will completely prevent or even delay the banning...you can be banned with LT for various reasons. It is less likely if you use LT over 1.6, that's all. The latest version for the Liteon is I believe LT 1.1, maybe 1.2

Also, what is the latest firmware for my lite-on 7..... .
No. Everyone gets banned eventually and this is proved every year. 1000's were banned last Novemember. Chances are if you make it through November, you're good for another year. I have friends that went years without even using ABGX and others that played by the rules, and got banned. It's the risk we take.
