This app is the Windows Service App in Visual Studio 2013. It implements File System Watcher to monitor any changes to a particular folder and it then sends email and log the events to a specified text file. Email configuration settings have been set using Project properties so you can put your settings using the project properties or App.config file. To install the application
1. Unzip the folder
2. You must have VS 2013 to open the files and make modifications on the settings for email and folder
2. Open command prompt as Administrator
3. Change the root folder on command prompt to your unzip folder -> bin -> debug
4. Then type the command installutil /i WindowsService1.exe to install the application
5. Open the Administrative services from the control panel -> then open the services -> find the service you have installed -> Double click and start the service
6. Test the application by making changes to the folder you have set for monitoring

Virus note: All files are scanned once-a-day by SourceCodester.com for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE:
1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
