NEVER LET UNKNOWN ENTITIES CONNECT TO YOUR PC WITH REMOTE CONTROL LIKE TEAM VIEWER.

Risks are enormous and could lead to total loss of your funds and/or compromise your data permanently.

You nailed it!
Many months ago, during my very first months in crypto, I got troubles to back up and sync my wallets (altcoins) after upgrading to newest versions. I asked for help from channels of projects I invested. Then, you know what happened? Some strange users popped up and generously stated that they can help me out if I gave them control of my computer, temporarily.

I was a newbie that day, and did not have too much knowledge about crypto, but basically I knew that it is always terrible to give others control of my computer, even through Remote control feature on Team Viewer. I made my right decision to ignore them all, and I was safe, fortunately.

BTW, I have one more point to contribute.
Bitcoin investors have to carefull with their bitcoin's wallet ID, too. Because expertised guys can spend decent time and efforts to bruteforce and get their private keys. It is not easy thing to do but in worst cases, people might lose their private keys and bitcoin stored in that wallet (that might be traced with wallet ID).

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Never ever give your trust easily especially online. Be careful with downloading applications and sites for they might be fake and might be packaged with viruses, trojans and other malwares that could cost you a lot because these could collect your info's and  steal whatever they can get and worst case scenario use it to commit illegal activities or identity theft. Second is, don't trust unknown emails for it might also be used by attackers to steal from you and manipulate you.

well, never heard that throug TeamViewer some one can come to your comp, but it does not mean it is not possible.
and to be safer,  install firewall to your pc and deny any incoming connection except trusted zone..

yes I once connected my pc with a strange application because of that I did not appear suspicious because my antivirus did not detect him as a virus, but unfortunately bad luck came over me, my wallet was hacked by people and some of my tokens were taken I was really stressed, therefore I quickly move eth for fees and some other important tokens
I totally agree with your opinion above
