The best way to avoid this is to keep your PC in your room and its should be for private use only,no friends no family no connections because most times if you allow friends or even families to use your personal PC they might betray you,it happened to me once

I am not aware of any legit app/software that can connect to your device unless you give it permission. Otherwise, your device is infected with a backdoor.
If someone wants to connect to your PC using team viewer he must know your IP/ID and the correct password.
You have to disable some features from team viewer settings to make the guest unable to upload/download files from/to your PC.
Always use a good firewall and monitor your network activity.

It's not about permission. It' about giving permissions to unknown people on the internet to your computer.

Even if a remote TV connection is estabilished with restricted actions, a malicious entity could reset the connection and restart a session to start in default "clickable" session. If you don't take immediate action it could result in very dangerous situation.

I've come across such a case, where an individual gave access to someone he thought was a member of an ICO team to help fix his wallet (the project had a separate blockchain). And the imposter made away with all the funds he/she had on that wallet.

Also if you're a bag holder in any currency, it's preferable to have a separate device for the safekeeping of your assets, different from the one you use to browse and visit sites. This reduces the risks of falling victim to some malicious link.

NEVER LET UNKNOWN ENTITIES CONNECT TO YOUR PC WITH REMOTE CONTROL LIKE TEAM VIEWER.

Risks are enormous and could lead to total loss of your funds and/or compromise your data permanently.

Stay aware, stay safe.  Smiley
