The TeamViewer software is the tool used by our technicians to remotely operate your computers.
Remote control of your computer requires that TeamViewer is installed and running on your computer. The software is free.
Here is how to download and install TeamViewer:

On Windows, move the TeamViewer QuickSupport program to the desktop of your computer. - Start up the program. On the Mac, you will need to give additional permissions to TeamViewer. Follow the instructions on the screen.
