This software as a rather stupid flaw in that if you mis enter a password 3 times you cannot access the remote system for 20 days! Somebody is brain dead in their development department. An hour maybe but this product is not useful for commercial use with a lot of tech support people because of this dumb feature.

In summary, I would not recommend Team Viewer to a friend.
