Know what a remote session shows
Exactly what you hand over when somebody takes control of your screen.
A remote session lets somebody far away watch your screen and move your mouse, as though sitting in your chair.
That is fine with a company you called. It is everything for a stranger who called you.
Key points
- A remote session gives somebody your screen and your mouse
- Allow it only for a company you called on a number you found
What to remember
- You can end it at any second.
- Allow it only when you placed the call.
Try this
If a session starts and you are unsure, end it and unplug the internet.
