“Let us say you have software related problem in your computer
and you are not able to solve it, all you have to do is just
install TeamViewer and run it. When you start the software you get
a code, give this code to the person located at the remote place
having TeamViewer installed. Once this person puts the code he/she
can get full control over your computer. He will be able to operate
your computer just like you are operating it. You can see all the
operations being performed by this person. This expert from remote
place can find out the problem with the software and also solve it.
Once the problem is solved you can stop the remote access and
continue as usual. The remote person cannot access your desktop
unless you give the code or password.”
