It's just remote help.
Imagine you had problems with pc,with the above mentioned programs someone else with pc knowledge can access your pc and help you.

They take control of your screen while you sit back and watch and pray they don't open your private photos folder

You have to give them permission Terpe

Anyway your private photos folder should be encrypted in the first place

In reality things like pictures don't work so well over these remote links particularly over UK-Philippines distances as the connections tend to be slow. Good enough though to let a techie fix a not quite fully working computer or to allow a techie to teach a remote user how to use their computer properly.

Thanks Jim, always appreciate and respect your posts, but.... I still don't like the sound of it
OMG I have so much stuff on my pc (Always backed up) but...... I'm so suspicious
I had my identity stolen one time, way back in 2002, and still have hassle now!!
It really is such a nightmare
