can my boss use Radmin 3.1 to spy on me while I work? Can he log on and watch what I am doing in real time with out me knowing? Thanks.

Thanks, The "R" is normally blue on the taskbar. Is this the standard color when not connected to another PC? And what color does it change to?

spoooky! isnt it, instead of doing work you'll always be looking out for Orange "R".

I would say don't do things at work which can be doubtful or you think boss shouldn't find out about them.

Regards

It is not a matter of "spying" by the boss. It is a matter of company security and privacy we all are entitled to, even in workplace. My company installed the software without informing anybody and, it seems that nobody is aware of the implications. If indeed the logs can be deleted then IT, who are the only users, can siphone off sensitive company information without anybody noticing and without a trace of proof.
It is also possible that when IT decide to make changes in your settings while you work and don't watch the "R" they can accidentally damage your work (it happened to me and it was not even remote access).
Thirdly, we all need occasionally do some private business while at work and wouldn't want anybody to watch our bank statements and credit card numbers.
In the previous company I worked for the remote access required the remote computer user permission.
This brings me to the main question: Is there a setting I could change to allow me to stop the remote access to my workstation without my explicit permission ? I could not find it anywhere in the help function and FAQ which are obviously directed at the IT specialists and not at the potential "victims" of the nosy or bored IT department.

I am the "user" and Radmin is invisible to me (except the icon). How do I set it so the IT cannot access my workstation without my permission?

Dear Mr Idzikowski
You, of course, did not understand the point. Your software can cost the company uncontrolled loss of sensitive data because it is possible to, this time I'll agree to the use the word, "spy" on employees without them knowing it. Moreover, if that happens, inncocent victims of that spying will be blamed for leaking sensitive data since it will be known that they had access to them while the "spy" will go unnoticed. Scary stuff.
Would not recommend your software to anybody and will warn whoever I can.

You can change this setting if you have an administrator access to your computer.

In RADMIN server options..>Incoming Connection Dialog>Ask User Permission.
