My AV flagged TeamViewer as dangerous app. Is it?

wasn't teamviewer hacked a few years back?

i have used anydesk with intermittent success on a linux mint box. sometime issues with password or being able to see the pc on the same network.

I used it when it was free. Never tagged as a virus. But when they made unrealistic demands on users of the "free" version, I switched to AnyDesk. Much better, and still free.

came here to say exactly this. Use anydesk, Teamviewer hates their free users.

Always funny performing the "magic" of taking over a family member's computer to fix it for them from a thousand miles away.

I found it was very handy when my old dad was bed bound and watched a lot of video, mostly his collection of movies and TV shows. When he had trouble, he'd call me at work and I'd fix the problem remotely.

Probably only used by faggots who don't do real work
