Got it. It's RemoteExec that supports all the base functions of Skypekiller. Skypekiller is just a simple wrapper and demo for your real sword - RemoteExec. From your introduction, RemoteExec is a very strong middleware for other vendors to build their own software on it. It can be used as a command and control platform. When I have time, I will have somebody to try it out. Regards, Richard Hi, Francois,

RemoteExec is a universal deployer for Microsoft Windows systems, that allows network administrators to remotely install from a desktop, all application and file types on the servers and workstations, throughout their network. RemoteExec (and therefore SkypeKiller) is extremely simple to use and doesn’t require any kind of deployment. Only a few minutes are necessary to get your first action launched: - Install RemoteExec on any workstation or server connected to your network (Time estimate: less than 2 minutes) - Select the or thee action(s) to execute (hotfix deployment, script execution, system reboot, etc...) - Define target computer criteria (workstations only, systems running XP SP2, etc...) - Select the target computer zone (the whole domain, organization unit(s), specific list of computers, etc...) - Click to start the job (a progress window is displayed, followed by the status report detailing the success/failure of each action) If necessary, you can even schedule subsequent automatic passes for computers unavailable during the initial pass (unconnected laptops, powered down computers, etc...) You can freely download a fully-functional trial version of RemoteExec from our Web site: please check it out! Best regards, François Amigorena IS Decisions President & CEO Dear Richard,

Totally I agree to your points. It's a software that customers can use it to detect and remove Skype from their LAN. My points are from technically perspective, it seems to be of no value. Because I am in charge of a large enterprise IT, it's incredible for me to deploy such kind of tool specificly for Skype. I don't want to hurt your company and your team. If you feel so, I apologize. Would you please explain a little bit on how to work as agentless ? From your website, I think Skypekiller needs to install agents.. Thanks for your comment. Totally I agree to your points.

Would you please explain a little bit on how to work as agentless ? From your website, I think Skypekiller needs to install agents..

I do feel really sorry that you find SkypeKiller "ridiculous". Our aim is to give our corporate clients maximum choice in their network management. If they want to allow the use of Skype on their networks, it is perfectly alright with us. But if they don't, we provide them with an efficient tool to perform a clean and remote uninstall. More, SkypeKiller can also be used just to detect Skype instances without uninstalling them or only partially. And by the way, SkypeKiller is a totally agentless solution...
