The remote access tool from TeamViewer GmbH may be great for working together across computers, providing computer access for professionals and tech support that allows them to assist users or work together on a single desktop remotely.  However, it may be not so great for keeping users’ files safe. Allowing remote access is convenient for technical assistance, meetings, and so on, although it leaves devices and other important files vulnerable to malicious attacks, such as a new ransomware that has been infecting users.
