vista security problem?

[Guest jakein2008]

In vista I use remote control to control a computer which has virus and

spyware, will my vista be vulnerable to virus and spyware and how to avoid it?

 

Thanks.

You already asked this question in another thread and got a lot of good

answers. You should not attempt to clean an infected computer remotely.

Aside from the possibility that you might infect your own computer, the

infected computer needs to be off the Internet and disconnected from the

Local Area Network (if there is one). If you are trying to support a friend

or relation long distance, this will not work. The friend/relation needs to

take the machine to a shop if they can't do the cleaning themselves.
