SSM default permissions

Why does SSM allow system safety monitor\syssafe.exe remote code control and remote data modification ?
This is seen in the rules and is seemingly a default.....

 

Any thoughts ?

 

This is becoming more common in security applications, as they need to be able to take control of any/all running processes.

This is a default setting, as if this ability was removed, then SSM would not be able to control correctly (when needed), and would make your system less well protected.

 

Thanks for responding Stem, but why remote code control and remote data modification ? To me this implies control is enabled in computers other then me own...

 

It just means remote processes on the PC that SSM is installed on.

 

I don't understand.........remote in terms of processes apart from SSM on my stand alone PC and not remote in terms of another computer ?

 

Now come on you guys...well over 200 people have looked at this thread and only Stem has commented......i know more then Stem are using SSM....is anyone else seeing what i am seeing... or not ?

 

It's referring to processes on your PC, not another computer. From the SSM help file:

Hi Rainwalker, very sorry if I did not make this clear.

Yes, SSM will only control the processes on the PC it is installed on.

 

Ok Stem and Herbalist...thank you..
