| 656250 | 2008-04-05 23:58:00 | If someone (nameless entity here) asks for help by linking to you and your computer with the share a geek program in XP...is there any chance that a virus or trojan could cross-contaminate the un-diseased computer too? :help: | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 656251 | 2008-04-06 02:02:00 | I take it you're talking about remote assistance? I believe not. All that does is send you pictures of their desktop and send them your keystrokes and mouse movements (if you're controlling their computer remotely) Because you're not actually sharing files it shouldn't do anything - a virus would probably have to be written specifically to exploit something in the way the computers connect to each other but I've never heard of it (not for remote assistance, anyway) But that doesn't mean it's not possible |
