I've come across a program that is a dream come true (however it's real!). Just by setting it up to listen and connecting to the ip with the correct password from another machine with the program installed I can control my PC....
All it requires is that your PC and the PC you are trying to connect to it from are on the internet.
It's called WinVNC and I was testing it yesterday. I was letting my mate connect to my PC. The taskbar icon flashed indicated he had connected. I sat back... and my mouse moved. It moved to the start menu opened it up then slowly directed itself to "Paint" and opened it.
It selected the pen tool and started to write "Hello Neo". I felt like I was actually Neo at the beginning of the program! I tried to take control of the mouse pointer and the 'ghost' fought with me, the mouse pointer flying across the screen in random directions. Finally I gave up and it went to the text tool opened up a box and wrote "Don't touch anything! Let me use it!".
Now the possibilities with something like this! They filled my mind! First things first I put on an act ran up to my mum saying my computer was talking to me and took her into the room. She actually got very very spooked when the 'ghost' wrote in word "hello" one letter at a time. She had to leave the room in fright.. she even told me to turn the PC off! She was convinced it was a ghost so I had a good laugh there! But this was not the only possibility with this program! Firstly it was great fun I must say.. my mate nearly tried to shutdown my computer but I stopped him before he could hit it! He could do anything I could! However I could kill him off when he was taking things to far by simply selecting "kill" from the taskbar menu. I also thought as my topic shows.. I could take this into school. I could put it on the school computer and connect to my PC at home and I could check my email in my outlook express, upload my homework that I forgot to bring to school!
Although it's quite laggy if you are on a 56k modem, two ADSL/ISDN lines could connect to one another very well and very quick.. you could even have a game of lagless solitaire!
Here's to the future! It's one of the most amazing pieces of software I've ever come across! And it doesn't disturb your current destop.. it opens in a new pop up window!
If you fancy trying this for yourself check out the software -

Never used it... Ever Logan.... Hmmm.
It not illegal until you delete a file, so you can do it and mess around but never delete anything, is an arresteble offence!

There are different versions of this... but the best are Trojan Viruses... let me give u a scenario:
I send my friend a file, which he opens, ehich puts a trojan on his computer. Unlike the software thing u have, he does not know its there.
Now I can control every aspect of his computer. My favourite is to swape keys on the keyboard.. so his A and B are swaped say...
Even funnier, I can open and close his CD tray... srite error messages to him..etc
Obvioulsy... this is illegal, and I have never done it;)

Sounds fun! As long as peoples systems and files are not damaged or deleted. It happened to dads work computer once.
Yes you can delete other people's files. But the beauty of it is you need a password to access your computer. So you can control who uses your PC.
It's made for people who like to use their computers rather than others. Just turn the monitor off.. you may scare some passers by when the mouse pointer moves and opens a program.

WOW! I have waited sooo long for this software! It must be soo amazing to try that out! but cant u delete other peoples files? OR is it protected by that?
This sounds a little like back orifice 2000 the trojan hourse program which allows you to connect to another computer and do anything with it and the person won't know you are doing it. Could be useful but could also cause alot of problems with certain security aspects in schools.
I agree Your Honour but when you are in the sixth form in an IT room NO teachers ever enter... well :)
Just one word of warning, however innocently you use the program, I wouldn't take it to school to use.
