TeamViewer is a tool designed to remotely control the system via the Internet without having to install the server/client on the hard disk of your computer. The program can be successfully used from transferring data between computers, conducting chats, virtual training, live presentations played directly on the client's PC to managing a server based on the Windows platform. In addition to supporting the Vista system itself, TeamViewer offers the ability to remotely control applications via Vista Secure Desktop (UAC).

Undoubtedly, another big advantage of the program is the support of secure connections thanks to the use of keys and RC4 session encoding (the same security standard used by https/SSL). In version 5 there is a possibility of conducting audio-video conversations and conferences.
