re Teamviewer: http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/unsupported-teamviewer-versions-exploited-backdoors-keylogging/ http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/u... It's our responsibility to not configure hard to secure and easy to exploit remote access on friend/family computers but use on demand solutions instead. If you need always-on remote access, then it's a requirement to secure it properly, and I will argue there's no need for always-on remote access on friend/family machines. Those aren't usually online anyway, so there's no hurdle to know beforehand and exchange the access token. That said, I don't understand why anyone would trust an intermediary with access to their computer. Do they have a contract in place to expect a certain level of support and security? If not, there's no explanation I can think of.
