  1. Temporarily means 15 seconds on average, maximum 30 seconds and the data it's only held in memory.

    PC Monitor does not transmit anything while the mobile app is not active except for the fact that the PC is up and running and it does that every 15 seconds. All other informations are transmitted on request (from the mobile apps or web app).

  2. No personal user data is collected or stored on our servers. All the data required by the application (such as the state of the computer, services state, running processes) is stored temporarily in our servers with the sole intent of displaying this information on the mobile device and is removed automatically after the request is complete. None of your account details are shared with any third parties and no member of our staff has direct access to the account informations or any data stored.

    The servers accept only secure connections from both client agents (Windows and Linux) as well as from the mobile applications (iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7) and Web Application therefore the communication is always encrypted.

    We do not store on our servers any information that can allow someone to connect to your computers. Even more, our servers never contact your computers; simply stopping PC Monitor service will cause all the communication between our server and your computer to stop.

    As well, we store just a salted hash of your password on our servers and we recommend you to use a strong password. After several invalid login attempts our servers will lock the username/IP address for some time too.

  3. Thank you Jeff,

    We will look into this ASAP - PC Monitor (when idle with no commands being sent) should not perform any tasks except monitoring the parameters specified in the notifications.

    Therefore it should not be anywhere near 60% CPU - I will look at the config you've sent - thank you for that.

    We monitor around 20 test machines (including VM's) and not being able to reproduce this just yet but we will investigate with all sorts of configurations.

  4. You don't have to be logged in, PC Monitor installs as a service and starts automatically. There is no direct link between user login and PC Monitor service (unless there's no Internet connection if the user is not logged in - ???)

  5. We've added a command that checks for Windows updates, downloads and installs them, sends a message to all logged in users and restarts the computer in 5 minutes (if Windows updates needs to restart to complete the installation of updates). This will work for one computer of for a group.

    With this we've added support for timed restarts that should be available in a future release.

  6. When an agent updates it compares the old release version (stored in registry) with the new release version. If they differ it will not send a notification.

    We will keep the "up and running" message as it applies to most cases.

    As for shut down notification PC Monitor relies on Windows to send a notification to the service that the computer is shutting down.

    This might not be called (we've seen cases like this) or it might be called too late and the network interface(s) are down and of course there's no way for the notification to reach the servers.

    Hope this answers your questions.

  7. If you're getting an error like:

    System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

    at System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged..ctor()

    Please change the "Enabled" value for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy key to 0

    This will fix the problem.
