==History==
ErrMess (erc) started in 2003 as a single software to prank your number one victim locally. Since then it has grown to be a very popular remote computer prank program, used by thousands of people worldwide.

Everything you see on the website, from the documentation, website and the code itself, was created by one individual. ErrMess (erc) is not an Open Source project, which means that the source code is not available for the public.

On this site you can download and install a software called ErrMess Remote Computer (erc). To do this you need at least two computers connected through a local network or through an internet connection.

ErrMess (erc) was born out of a desire for an elegant, free and funny remote control prank, that you could use on April Fool's Day and any other day. ErrMess is a fresh software, but its roots and development go back to 2003. It is a userfriendly and stable product. I hope by focusing on what features the user want's and need I can create a tool different from anything else out there.

2008 was a very exciting year for the author, as we saw the release of the 4.1 version (introducing a few new features) which have been downloaded several thousand times. After losing some of the source code for ErrMess (erc), due to a computer crash a few years ago (unfortunately he did not have a backup at that time) - it is finally great to have the final and stable version of 4.1 out in the public.
