I use it regularly to admin my server or fix relatives PCs, no issues at all, very slick.

Use it in our work place to remotely fix or work from home. It's brilliant.

Ok, many thanks all.

What put me off was the generic picture of the lady on the website... Looked just liek a number of questionable programs and so I was not entirely comfy to use it.

Thanks again.

It's the easiest remote desktop software to use in my experience. I used Skype video call to guide my friend on building his PC, and then used Teamviewer to set up the software side of things for him

Manage over 100 customer servers using it.

I use it to remote control a pc in another room in the house and it's a doddle,if you have qualms about security though then google Team Viewer/Security and see what you get.

I did that and was convinced it was safe to use if only by the fact that's it's been in use for so long with no reports of mal-anything about it so far.

Probably doesn't mean it won't be the next heart-bleed bug though.

Best thing since sliced bread.

Been using it for years to fix my relatives and friends computers. Highly recommended

It's really rather good, and very versatile.
Only downside is that the file transfer speeds are pretty slow, even inside a LAN.
