SL is a social platform and all the issues that are reported are between people.
It makes sense for only people to be involved in the decision making process.
To maintain a healthy relationship with their users a company generally goes with the "Innocent until proven guilty" policy.
A computer can easily generate false positives, especially when dealing with so many OS'es and software components.
The bad PR and negative reviews they would get from auto-banning innocent people without proper evidence would not be worth the risk.
And it would be considered hacker-ish and maybe a breach of privacy to poke around in a users system to find evidence against them.
The only things they could monitor without controversy. Is the default files & data already being uploaded to SL. Like viewer-name, viewer-stats, system-folder, IM / chat, etc. Most of which is already spoofed by CB devs.
