Hi everyone,
Pls excuse my english.
My wife has installed the remote administration program Team Viewer 10 on her notebook for her distant job. My wife's company trusts the tech guy who sometimes remotely accesses the notebook to fix problems or to install apps etc.
The guy is probably so busy, that I doubt that he may do something dishonest, like erasing data, stealing project files or browsing our private pics etc. And of course, we do not keep credit card numbers or such important data on the computer.
So, I'm not so paranoid, BUT still...
Plz tell me, how this program works and can the tech guy access literrally all the files on the notebook? I mean can he browse our photos and videos, can he read text documents etc.? Can he download them to his computer?
Here I am not talking about something advanced like hacking, it's simply: does the program give the tech guy an access to everything by default?
I tried to learn more about the program, but the info that I found on google is not very detailed. I wish to know how the interface looks on the tech guy's side, I wish to know what he sees on his screen and what he can do or not do.
I'm not an expert, I just turn on the program and as far as I can see it can give you a password that you can send to the tech guy and also there're options: remote administration and file sharing (or something like that). My wife turns only the 1st option on. Please note that our version of the program is not in english, so I'm translating.
Thank you very much for your explanations.
