TeamViewer and other remote software should do this also
"WARNING: YOU MAY BE BEING SCAMMED!
If you are on the phone with someone you DON'T know AND TRUST who has asked you to install RustDesk,

Just tried out RustDesk via self-hosted server and it seems to work pretty well!

@stux in 25+ years I've never needed professional support with fixing my computer problems, but I think this RustDesk is not really user friendly, for the general public, with this selfhost thing

@ranx It's more for control of my remote machines when away!
It can also be used as default via their servers so no need for server setup
But its the reason i chose it

@stux I haven't gotten over some of the early reports on Rustdesk.. it sounds like it works great, but there is something slimey about it, that won't let me quite trust it....

@stux It's a good idea but it's in the wrong place.
When you go to any site, a colorful banner at the top generally means they're advertising some new version or some conference.
The warning needs to be about 25% of the way down the screen for it to be guaranteed to be read.
