Hope this is the right forum, can Mods move please if not.
I need to research if there is a secure way to setup Remote Desktop access to my Mother (73yr old) Win7 X64 PC.
I can't keep her PC properly secure and functioning anymore over the phone.
I am behind both hardware and software firewalls. Her PC that I built for her is only behind a DSL modem but has the same software firewalls and AV I put on all my builds.
Can anyone start by letting me know if I can reasonably establish a secure Windows Remote Desktop with her or is this not safe enough without commercial level hardware/software?
If it is considered safe enough with SOHO/Consumer setup/protocols, can anyone point me to tech references to start researching?
I expect I will have to travel to her to set her PC up and maybe add a hardware firewall but I don't want to even try if it is too risky, knowing that I won't be able to control what she does after I set it up. If I can't control what she allows on her PC, does that automatically expose me in reverse with allowing Remote Desktop connections?
Thanks
