Features:

• This is a windows service that you install on a PC.  It runs whenever your PC is powered on, regardless of who, if anyone, is logged in.
• One simple configuration file gives you complete control of the urls you wish to monitor and how often.
• You can monitor unlimited urls.
• Each monitored url has its own logfile generated each day.  The logs are in xml format for easy import into other applications for reporting.
• The service itself also has its own text log file which you can enable in the configuration as a diagnostic aid if needed.
• Your PC must have an active internet connection and the .NET 2.0 Framework installed.
• Some antivirus software may prevent outgoing internet connections.  Please consult your owner's manual or with the manufacturer to learn how to enable certain programs the ability to connect to the internet.
