OT: To connect or not to connect, here is the question

[Jose Lerebours]

So, given that 99.99% of the members here are consultants / self 
employed developers, I am posting this question to you all

Scenario:
New prospective customer wants me to care for their filePro application. 
They have a 3rd party serving/hosting their windows infrastructure.

Requirements:
3rd party company wants to install a security application whereby they 
can remotely manage my computer and maintain patches/antivirus as if my 
computer were one of their own.


My answer:
That is not gonna happen - If you want to do that, send me a laptop and 
I will use it exclusively for your needs.


I later got a call from Admin company owner whom explained that they did 
not need access to my computer, but if I could install an antivirus 
program they will provide it for me to install
and all should be fine ... I agreed to install the software only to 
receive a link to download and install the point to point 
monitoring/connection program (ESET) which in turn opens the computer
to be managed remotely.

I have never have anyone make such a request from me - Is this a unique 
or not so unique situation?  What say you?


Regards,
