Adobe Remote Control

[skywalker1366]

Hello, I recently had an issue with my lightroom so contacted Adobe through chat. They fixed my issue through remote access or some screen sharing. They had full control of my computer which was no surprise. Although I began to worry if they might now have acces to my computer amd personal information? Should I be concerned? How safe is screen sharing with a stranger? & How can I check if the app or software used to control my screen was removed? I am worried I made a mistake...

How did you contact Adobe -- by phone or through the official online chat system?

Beware of fake Adobe reps who may contact you privately offering to sell you software or take control of your computer.  Real Adobe reps will NEVER reach out to you by Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or Skype.

I don't see how this is a "ccorrect" answer this does not answer the question at all. The questions were "Should I be concerned? How safe is screen sharing with a stranger? & How can I check if the app or software used to control my screen was removed? "  This doesn't answer those questions. This seems like more of a general guideline for what to do in the future.

#3 seems like a great resource for future reference, though.

the answer is/was there's no concern (re hacking) if an adobe agent was involved.
