Free and portable remote computing client application which shares a desktop and PC with remote users.
TeamViewer QuickSupport is one of a few different applications produced by the same company that allow you to receive remote technical support on your PC.
The way the application works is after installation, a user ID and password are generated by the program. Once you give these login credentials to somebody, they can request remote access to your computer's desktop.
As a portable program, installation is not required so just running the application after downloading is sufficient to activate the functionality on your PC.
Some of the functionality included with TeamViewer QuickSupport include providing remote access to a desktop, transfer files between the host and the client, audio calling, text chat and remote computing with Android devices.
Beware of scams
TeamViewer applications are often used by so-called tech support scammers to gain access to a user's computer. The usual way the scam works is the agent will connect to a PC and convince the victim that the computer is infected with a virus, the 'network is compromised' or other such malarkey.
Users should never provide access to their systems from unknown users calling you or by anybody that claims to be from Microsoft or some technical support company.
Conclusion
In fairness, TeamViewer QuickSupport is a good way to assist users with their PC troubles or just as a basic remote computing tool but it's been used far too often by unscrupulous companies in overseas call centers.
