My newest program - ChatScan

Hey Everybody!

I'm finishing up my newest program - ChatScan - and wanted some thoughts from the lovely members here at Wilders.

What it does:

• Scans PC's on your network for running chat programs
  • Can scan ALL computers or just Selected ones for a narrow search. Adjustable filter to list only certain segments of your network.
• After the scan, it displays information about the found processes:
  
  • Computer Name it was found on
  • User name that is running the program
  • Name of the program found
  • Installation location of the program that is found
• Then, you have the option of killing the processes remotely
  
  • Either 1 at a time
  • Or, have it kill them anytime one is found

It is designed for network admins that want to see what their users are doing. It allows you to sit on any workstation on the network and do a full scan of all computers connected, LAN or WAN.



What it looks for:

• Yahoo! Instant messenger
• Yahoo! System Tray Manager
• AOL Instant Messenger
• ICQ Messenger
• Jabber Instant Messenger
• MSN Messenger

I have not included a screenshot yet, because the program is still under construction.

I just wanted to get some opinions about whether you think this is something usefull or not.

Thanks,
Andy

 

It sounds like a good idea to me It could be helpfully to both Network admins and also on Home Networks for parents.

Good Luck,

Steve

 

I betcha the IT team where i work would be really interested in this. One of them is actually a member here at Wilders so i'll have to steer him towards this thread.

Thanks Capp.

Sounds good to me. I appreciate the plug

Once I finish this one and get it off and running, I'm going to go back and finish working on ChatStop and get it out there too.

I'm willing to let some people test it if they are interested, when it's complete that is

 

wow, not quite the response I was hoping for.
Oh well..

Thanks Steve and Snowbound for your kind words.

I'll post this at broadbandreports and see if I can get more responses.

 

Hopefully they come around Capp.

Listen, keep us all informed as to the progress with this and good luck with all your endeavors.
