Abstract
A method and system for detecting active file-share sessions on a client device, alerting the user of the client device, and enabling the user to terminate the file-share sessions, are disclosed. In accordance with the disclosed method and system, when a remote device (e.g., on a network, the Internet, wireless, etc) connects to a shared file or folder on a client device (e.g., a personal computer, a personal digital assistant, a cellular telephone, personal video recorder, and the like) the user of the client device receives an alert identifying the file-sharing session established through this connection. The user is then presented with an option of whether to approve this file-sharing session, or to disconnect it (thus causing the remote user to lose access to the client device's file system) with a single click of a button.
