Why can I use pcAnywhere, CarbonCopy, VNC, or similar remote control software to access my desktop computer from a remote location, even if that location is elsewhere on the PPS network?
Remote control software packages such as these pose an even greater risk to computer security than remote dialup software if an unauthorized user gains access to the workstation. In this case, the result is the same as the unauthorized user sitting directly at the computer screen having access to all of your e-mail, data files, program and operating system settings, in addition to complete access to any servers or other network services that are accessible from your computer at that time.
