    precautions after giving remote access to computer


    After having router issues , I allowed routerlogin.net to remotely gain access to my computer, and repair the issues. Issues repaired, with a year long firewall protection. Since we have Webroot, something doesn't feel right, as all anitvirus, firewall issues are in place. My concern is further access to our

    computer. I have gone into system folder, and disabled remote access. Is there anything else I should do besides speaking with Netgear, and Webroot?

    :)

    precautions after giving remote access to computer

    I remember giving a password, I think, and doing an online chat with woman's name, describing the problem. She then requested our phone number, and a technician called me. If this is really legit, i now wonder why the return email on my documents did
    not have netgear or routerlogin listed. The router diagnosis was "no permanent IP for Router and congestion and Foreign IPs

    Feeling like I should also replace my bank card
