ramoncito 0 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I received a warning that a computer is trying to access my computer via Google. Is this a threat or am I misinterpreted the warning? I blocked access but I believe this has been going on for at least two years. How do I investigate this other computer? Location? Owner? Can I attempt to access their computer to find out who they are? Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,243 Posted April 14, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2020 I don't think that Google Remote Desktop is that old. Disable it if you are asked about incoming remote connection requests: https://remotedesktop.google.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramoncito 0 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Quote Thanks Marcos. Whats your opinion on the origin of this computer. Does this event sound nefarious. Is there a way to determine the location of the other computer? I have reason to believe someone may have been trying to gain access to mine.

itman 1,743 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I would first check if this Google app has been installed. If so, you can remove it as follows: Quote Remove Chrome Remote Desktop On each computer where you want to remove Chrome Remote Desktop access, remove the app: Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Add/Remove Programs. Find the "Chrome Remote Desktop" application. Click Remove. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1649523?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en Edited April 14, 2020 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
