Okay, okay, guys...I
get all of your points. I'm really glad I threw this idea out there
because you all have given me some really great reactions. Thank you Bill
Humphries for your comments; you bring up some really good points.
Now, getting back to
technical conversation, the most important requirement for this software is the
multi-protocol monitoring. As some of you have said, this is not going to
be able to be done with a small program.
I don't mind letting
the user know he/she is being monitored, and I do not intend for this utility to
be used to spy on someone without their knowledge. I guess I didn't
explain that very well before.
So, with that out of
the way, I'd like the program to run in the background, and be slim enough that
it does not noticeably slow down the user's computer. This is to avoid the
person coming to the recovery group and saying, "I had to uninstall the monitor
because it is slowing down my computer".
Most Important
Requirements:
1. Multi-protocol
monitoring (HTTP, FTP, Chat, File sharing, Newsreaders,
etc.)
2. Thin application,
does not *noticeably* interfere with normal computer
operation
3. Difficult to
remove (disregarding all hardware replacements, obviously, the person could go
get a new computer) without a password
Again, thanks for
your helpful input. I assure you, I am not trying to create more problems,
and I am just like you guys when it comes to hatred of spy ware. I've been
making a pretty decent living for years securing people's computers.
