If you’re already skeptical about letting a technician access your files, it tracks so that the risk-aversive balk at the prospect of adding new software to a PC that’s already in dire straits. Handing over control of your computer is unnerving even without third-party software like UltraViewer acting as the middle man. This direct communication while you work provides comforting visibility to your client while you root out anything that’s potentially malicious or contains unwanted bundled software or unnoticed bloatware.

Once you have control of your partner, you can press the default hotkey (F1) to chat with the client. You’re in direct control of the computer in question, expediting the process and helping your client faster. No more having to screen-share and explain where to click, or no more sitting idle and asking the status of progress bars or download times. Once the issue resolves, the end-user can toggle off remote control by simply closing out of UltraViewer.įrom the perspective of technicians from software companies, once your client sends you the ID and password displayed, UltraViewer will let you support your clients quickly and without the hassle of repeated queries and commands.
