I was recently buying game card. "Seller" said he is selling it and applying over tw. He joined my teamviewer and take control of my mouse and quickly drag something to my deskop. IT asked if i want to install he quickly pressed YES and after this moment i turned off electric.

Am i safe or not? what should i do?

Definitly scan your computer. If he dragged/opend and installed it, you definitely need to scan.
Id use Hijakthis, do a scan and ask someone who is experienced what needs to be removed.

EDIT: becareful when using hijackthis, it can delete important window programs that are needed to run the computer system.

Im pretty sure most can be detected. Why would you let him take control of your comp anyway?

I wouldnt be using any passwords/emails/accounts that you wish to protect on this computer at the moment, just in case.

You probably are lol. I don't get why he needed to teamview you in the first place for buying a card XD

Yes it can be undetectable. If your sure he installed something you might wanna reinstall Windows before logging into anything important.

Teamviewer on linux/Mac = Win
The guy who connects over has no idea how to mess with your computer, and chances are that even if he does, he can't do anything serious without you typing in the master key.

So yeah, don't hate the useful program, hate the shitty OS.
