It can be dangerous if you allow it to. I use it at times to get into several other computers in my home office, mainly just movie collections from my mce 2005 in living room. Always keep yourself behind a good firewall type router, hardwire still my choice. and use a good firewall within your OS as well, check your ports and settings...then you should be able to use safely. or I should say within our current technoligy...there is always tomorrow.

OpenSource Fernbendienungssoftware, wie alle schon sagten sollte man es nicht installiert habe, kann es Gefährlich sein. Hat man jedoch sein Passwort halbwegs sciher vergeben geht keine Gefahr von der Software aus.

remote computing, pc 2 pc desktop access - quick - can be spyware - can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing as the world can access the computers it's installed on, if they guess the password. Block the ports with a router on local lan and it's safe.

This program gives you remote access to your computer. I highly doubt anyone who knows how to install a remote desktop service would wonder what it is.
