| Netfinity Service—Using the Netfinity Service, the system
| administrator does not need to stop his task to watch and control
| the system, because it can be done remotely. When the
| Netfinity Service runs in the background, the tasks running on
| your system do not need to be halted. The network
| administrator, at the same time, can monitor the network, so any
| problems can be avoided before they become severe. The
| remote workstation control function of Netfinity Service allows
| help desk personnel to remotely connect to a user's system and
| take control of the PC to diagnose and repair system problems.
