    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.
