Web Links

[Lavon_699]

I'm designing a BUSINESS website and I'm offering services such as: performing computer Maintenance, Anti-virus, diagnostic's and so on.

What I need to know is how to create a link that directs the software to search the clients computer and NOT my own.

I already know if I create a simple link and click on it, it will check my own server. I want it to check my clients instead.

Thank you

I very much hope you don't succeed with scanning my computer since it would be a major security breach.

You'll have to expand on what you mean.

If you go to www.askdrtech.com, you will see that this BUSINESS website offers plans for home users and business online. If you click on "home Plan" you will see that he can perform scans and other services on your computer through the internet.
I want something like that....
But I don't know how to direct the software to search the clients PC and not my own

Most of the time it's done through the use of a signed applet.

[Lavon_699]

Signed Applets, is that a service that has to enabled on the clients PC or Something that has to be programmed on my end like Java applets?

[TheBearMay]

A signed applet is just a digitally signed applet, usually JAVA. Once the user accepts/installs the applet, the applet (since it is signed) can leave the sandbox and act as a resident application.

That sounds too easy, I was told that the client would have to have their Active X installed and there would be some programming on my part....

Thanks VERY MUCH ! ! ! !
