<p>Hello Ross!</p>
<p>I did not think you were among the many lurkers on this list ...
lol, not sure why I would think that.</p>
<p>Yeah, that is pretty much what I did before the call. I figure I
ask and have others share their views on this to make sure I am
not <br>
doing what I am well known for, shooting from the hips. :-)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p><br>

given that 99.99% of the members here are consultants / self <br>
employed developers, I am posting this question to you all<br>
<br>
Scenario:<br>
New prospective customer wants me to care for their filePro
application. <br>
They have a 3rd party serving/hosting their windows
infrastructure.<br>
<br>
Requirements:<br>
3rd party company wants to install a security application
whereby they <br>
can remotely manage my computer and maintain patches/antivirus
as if my <br>
computer were one of their own.<br>
<br>
<br>
My answer:<br>
That is not gonna happen - If you want to do that, send me a
laptop and <br>
I will use it exclusively for your needs.<br>
<br>
<br>
I later got a call from Admin company owner whom explained
that they did <br>
not need access to my computer, but if I could install an
antivirus <br>
program they will provide it for me to install<br>
and all should be fine ... I agreed to install the software
only to <br>
receive a link to download and install the point to point <br>
monitoring/connection program (ESET) which in turn opens the
computer<br>
to be managed remotely.<br>
<br>
I have never have anyone make such a request from me - Is this
a unique <br>
or not so unique situation? What say you?<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
