screen scraping / remote manipulation

    My interest lies in stopping /preventing rather than doing.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    It is fairly easy to screen scrap a web page.

    Question:

    If you have a client that is logged into a server using server provided dlls
    which reside on the client, can the server operator:

    1) screen scrape the client
    2) display the client screen as a window on the server terminal
    3) remotely manipulate the client in anyway.

    If the answer to the above is yes, what if anything can be done in
    WinXP-Pro to stop or prevent it (a book or link would be appreciated)?

    Not in school.

    This relates to some personally developed code which is on my machine
    (client) and uses the server provided dlls. Have implemented 800-60
    security but all this remote business know little about.

  4. Try an appropriate TechNet or MSDN forum, David.
