Yes, there is a version of TeamViewer that comes for free and provides basic features to the user. But if you want you can shell out some cash for the premium version and more features. With two-factor authentication, a code is generated on your mobile device, in addition to asking for a username and password, to sign in to a TeamViewer account. The code is generated via the time. Using a TeamViewer account, you can save the TeamViewer data (eg.TeamViewer ID with or without password, TeamViewer accounts, or connection settings) of the people or computers you connect to frequently, for accessing more easily in the future.

Teamviewer, a piece of software that people can use to remote-control PCs, appears to have been hacked. Numerous user reports have indicated that unknown third parties are taking control of PCs and trying to steal money, through services like PayPal or eBay. Needless to say, this looks bad.

Teamviewer has denied the allegations, but something’s definitely going on. Dozens of Reddit users are flooding the /r/teamviewer forum looking for advice, and one of my personal friends asked my advice after reporting something very similar.

The accounts on Reddit and from my friend all sound similar: someone takes remote access of a PC, and then signs into something like eBay, PayPal, or email services. It’s pretty obvious what is going on — Teamviewer isn’t a backdoor, but a remote control program, so the mouse moves around the screen like there’s an actual user controlling it.

Teamviewer claims it isn’t a problem with its system, but rather with users’ individual credentials. It’s certainly possible — with the recent LinkedIn security breach, there’s millions of email/password combos in the wild, and people are notorious for re-using logins across different sites and services.

But there’s also mounting evidence that it’s some kind of flaw in Teamviewer’s software. My friend claimed he used a unique password, and other users with two-factor authentication enabled have said that they have been hacked, which is virtually impossible if it’s just username/password combos being tried.

In a statement issued today but attributed to a week ago, Teamviewer denied any breach of its systems:

TeamViewer is appalled by any criminal activity; however, the source of the problem, according to our research, is careless use, not a potential security breach on TeamViewer’s side. Therefore TeamViewer underscores the following aspects:

1. Neither was TeamViewer hacked nor is there a security hole

2. TeamViewer is safe to use and has proper security measures in place

3. Our evidence points to careless use as the cause of the reported issue

4. A few easy steps will help prevent potential abuse

Something weird is going on, however: Teamviewer’s site was down for a few hours this morning, a problem the service attributed to a DNS problem.

While the breaches are being investigated, here’s a few things you can do to ensure any machine you’re running is safe.

• Log out of your Teamviewer account on any machines running the service, so that access can’t be gained by a username/password combo.
• Uninstall Teamviewer if you’re particularly paranoid (or, to be honest, if you’re not expressly using it right now).
• Check the log, which can be found under Extras–>Open log files, and look for any unexpected incoming connections
• Check your credit cards, PayPal and eBay accounts for suspicious activity
• Change the password on your Teamviewer account, and check haveibeenpwned.com to see if your email has any known hacks that could reveal your password.

Teamviewer User Id

Whichever way you cut it, this doesn’t look good for Teamviewer. Remote-access software has to trade on the strength of unbreakable security; just the faintest hint that there’s a major security breach could kill the product.

Every time that you call support, call a friend to help, or you are trying to remotely login to a computer, you will need to know the Teamviewer ID of that machine. This is extremely simple, whether or not you have TeamViewer installed or not.

7 Steps total

Step 1: Look at the Desktop

To move everything out of the way, simply hold the windows key and press D. The windows key is the 'flag' looking key on the bottom left side of the keyboard between Ctrl and Alt. (Look at the space bar.... now go 2 keys left... that is the 'windows flag key').

While pressing the Windows Key, press D. It will minimize all windows it can to show you the desktop.

Step 2: Find the Teamviewer Icon on the Desktop

Locate the Teamviewer 8 Host icon on the desktop. If you do not find it there, then click the Start Menu and look for it there. If you do not find it in the Start Menu, then go to where the clock is. Look for the little up-arrow that hides notification icons. Click that up arrow and look for a miniature version of the Teamviewer icon to be there. Double-Click the icon in the notification area.

Step 3: Double-Click Teamviewer to open

Double-click the icon you found in step 2 to open Teamviewer. It will popup a window to show you the 9-Digit ID.

Step 4: What does it look like in the notification area?

If you are looking for the teamviewer in the notification area, this is basically what it will look like. In the image, the teamviewer icon is the icon to the far left in the notification popup.

Step 5: What about under the start menu? What will it look like?

When you pop open the start menu, simply start typing in the box found right-above the start menu button. This box will search for the program automatically. This is an example of a simple start menu search.

Step 6: I got an error that said 'Teamviewer is already running', what do I do?

If you get this popup message, then you simply need to click the 'Show running TeamViewer' button.

Step 7: I'm still having trouble, what do I do?

Well obviously you go home and cry yourself to sleep. Noob.

NO I'm kidding! If you can't find it at all then it is time to download it, because it obviously isn't there! This KB is about Teamviewer 8, so here is the download link to download TeamViewer 8. DO NOT download a different version because Corporate licenses for Teamviewer 8 will have issues connecting to a non-version 8 Teamviewer Install!

  Thanks for the picture in #6. I was working with an office that was stuck at this point and was never able to proceed after some trouble shooting. I personally never got this error and user did not inform me of the obvious selection.

  A proper explanation how to start Teamviewer. Though, if it's allready running (which one should checkout first), the icon would be found as explained above. By pointing at the icon, without clicking it, - there will show a popup box with the 9-Digit ID and TeamViewer name.
