I have seen this on a clients computer and others i have come across, where the scammer convinces the person to download teamviwer, and walks him thru set up to set it up as not a quick install but a full install.......

You can decide to set it up remotely as a quick install or completly install it as a stand alone, it is in the options i believe on the second screen when it begins to install
If it is a quick install, the password keeps changing, if you puck the option which i believe is the second one, it installs as a full install. When it finishes, you go into options, and in security you give it a name and a password and that is the password you use all the time and you also check off the option to start the program when windows starts

I now understand ang said it was set up as a quick remote but i just added it could have been installed as a full setup with a blink of an eye, either way, the password on the computer must be changed for safety reasons

Sorry that I was not clearer earlier. We stopped talking about the full version of TeamViewer starting in post #134. Post #135 states that the QuickSupport app cannot have a permanent password. As far as I know, this is still true. But let me know if you ever hear of a way to change that. I would rather use the lightweight QuickSupport app for unattended remote control access.
