On a couple of occasions I have allowed someone to remotely access my computer in order to assist me with something.
I have never had any problems with this but, I am wondering if there are any checks that I can make in order to ensure that nothing undesirable has been placed on my pc. As I have said, I have not encountered any problems with any of the connections. I always delete the programme that I have downloaded that allows the connection but, with computer hacking far more widespread these days it is often in the back of my mind that something might crop up at a later date from one of these sessions.
I have thought about doing a real 'deep clean' of my system with one of the free software programmes that are available and then re-installing my O/S.
Obviously if there is an easier way to ensure all is safe, I would prefer to go down that route.
Any thoughts anyone.
