    <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>

          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>
