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. -- Matt
