TeamViewer?
- Thread starter SkyRider
- Start date
Anybody have any experience with this service? Is it safe? I know nothing about it except it allows you or someone you trust to access your computer remotely.
I've used it before and I know alot SPs who are into a certain niche use it with clients... it's safe but a separate download do be careful where you get it.
Here is my concern. Does the Geek have access only for a finite time or is it forever?(generally, you call your geek on the phone and he says, "hook me up on Teamviewer please").
The TeamViewer application has to be running on both your PC and the "Geeks" to create a tunnel for them to control your PC through. Close the app on your PC and the tunnel is broken. I believe your partner ID remains the same every time you run the applications but the pass code changes every time.

This is all correct, I use it all the time and find it works great. I would also agree with roger20 about not downloading it from a third party site. If you are not using it for commercial gain it's a free download from teamviewer.
Here is the full story. Don't be a victim. There is a scam going around and it works like this.
1) A page appears on your screen saying there is some stuff attacking your computer and to call 1-844-847-7643 (this is not a real Microsoft number) to fix.
2) Some dude will answer the phone and ask you to connect to TeamViewer (the real Microsoft does not use TeamViewer).
