It enables users to access devices remotely, providing support or controlling said devices from a different location.

The issues have been occasional and importantly to us and our customers, none of those issues to date concern security.

It wasn’t as pretty as Teamviewer and it hasn’t been entirely issue free. Ah happy days!Ī second reason for not choosing TeamViewer is that it left parts of itself on our machine even when we tried to uninstall the trail.

The scammers got quite irate when we “apparently” could not understand their instructions or “accidentally” did not do what they asked. We got a couple more scam calls and as with the first one we kept them on line as long as possible stringing them out on the principle that the particular scammer was not calling some unfortunate less knowledgeable person if they occupied by being on the phone to us.

I must admit we were jaundiced to start over this product as we had previously had one of those scam phone calls (which we recorded) where we were asked to download remote access software to fix our computer performance problems as there were apparently “red lights” on the Microsoft monitoring equipment. Some years ago we were investigating which remote support tool to adopt for our customers.
