Hi Amy, Lots of legal issues with spyware. Most virus scanners will not allow programs such as BO to run. BO can actually take control of a PC and even turn on the web camera remotely. However, there are programs out there. Like tightvnc or setting AD to remotely view the user, there is a check box that you can uncheck that says ask the users permission. You can also monitor the packets that are being sent and received on the work station in question. I have a mini-network not attached to anything at all, that I have all those little tools to test them out. I'm amazed at some of the thought that went into those programs creations. Thank you, Joseph -----Original Message----- From: Amy Babinchak [mailto:amy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 10:21 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] OT: how to silently watch another computer http://www.ISAserver.org I have a customer with a business need to watch the activity on a users computer screen. They suspect a person of sleeping and want to check up on the computer and see if the guy is actually working or not. I'm not up on spyware. Is there something out there cheap, free, easy to configure and hidden from the user that we could use for this purpose? All he wants to do is view what is happening on the screen from time to time. Then they fire the guy and I uninstall it.
