   How do you know if some program is not running in the background (I   
   believe "zombie PC" is the correct term?) ?

   Not to my knowledge, but Agent supports HTML, so...   
      
   BTW why use Windows to run Agent? It's working just fine under Wine. I   
   have an older PC that runs Xubuntu 12.04.3 and Agent runs fine under   
   Wine 1.6.2. If you want SSL you'll have to install stunnel though...
