Unstoppable Service

Hi,
I'm developing a service that will be monitoring some of the
activities of currently logged in user.
one of the requirement is that the service must be unstoppable. The
user (any user even admin)
should be unable to stop/terminate the service. Is there any way? or
should I go for a normal
other than service? Any recommendations are appreciated.
thanks

Why don't you make two sepperate services who "guard" eachother? So if one is
stopped, it will be started by the other.

Honestly I never tried, but shouldn't setting ServiceBase.CanStop = False do
the job?

As I recall, one could only do this with a C# NT service. Using VB.Net, it
was a read only property. That was .NET 2003. It may have changed for 2005.
