Remote Desktop FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Remote Desktop

    Is remote access secure?

    Yes. You set the criteria required for access so only the right PCs are allowed to connect. Connections between PCs are always encrypted, so there's no chance of data intercept. Of course, the connection is only as secure as the PC that you're using. Be very careful about using untrustworthy computers to access your host PC. A public PC (such as one you find in an Internet cafe) can have spyware.
