Cleaner/Applications/Utilities. Team Viewer


dan1

Recommended Posts

In the Applications/Utilities section of the cleaner It shows a program Team Viewer. Since I don't recall seeing this before, I just need to know if that is always an option that can be 'ticked' or does it appear only on PC's that have that program installed? Since I have the other programs in the Utilities section, I assumed that CCleaner lists only those found.

-If so, I never downloaded it and I can't find it via the Search function, in Add/Remove or on the entended list provided with the Revo uninstaller.

Thanks in advance for any help with my Y/N question.

Team Viewer may not be explained as to how it got on your PC but it is not malware or anything sinister (as I believe that is what @Augeas is hinting at).

I've been using it for years, nice little product.

Backup now & backup often.

In itself teamviewer isn't malware, as suggested by @mta, however it is a "remote viewing" software that allows others to monitor your pc's activities, and thus conceivably (while a very slight chance) could be used maliciously if you are unaware of it's source.

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
