Well, in VB, program it to keep recieving info from the net. Use a timer and set it's interval to say... 60000. It will check every 1 minute if it's set to 60000 miliseconds.
Then, give the timer the code to check for the stuff that you want over the net.
If you're really intent about making the program 'un-closable', under the Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) event, put this code:
Cancel = -1
That's it!
