Hi All,

Since remote assistance/control programs are not malware, but are used by scammers at times to set up unattended access to victims' computers, does anyone know of a scanner that will look for remote assistance programs? (They don't always show up in Programs and Features).

Many thanks,
-T

Not that I'm aware of. Best solution would be an application allow/deny solution.
