anyone know about 'logmein 123.com'

Is there any possibility of access to the rest of my computer apart from the internet if this program is run? Norton Firewall and AV are in place and showing no problems.

Someone 'borrowed' my computer while I was away from my desk in the middle of financial and management entries to see a program demo and when I came back Mozilla was being remotely downloaded (don't mind Mozilla, that's not the issue) and I hit the roof as I felt that handing the ability to download to my most essential computer by an unknown software salesman was, shall we say, risky. I was especially disturbed that Sage etc were open at the time. The saleman was allowed to take control through 'logmein123.com'.I don't see that any damage has occurred, but if done well, I wouldn't would I? Am I being paranoid through ignorance? Am I being unreasonable in kicking my colleague till he shrieks, screaming the while?

I use logmein to control my desktop whilst I'm away from it or to provide support to my Dad without having to go to his house - It lets me do almost everything to the PC remotely - I'd be very concerned to be honest and I would uninstall the application from your PC straight away or at the very least change the password

I can't find any application to uninstall - any idea of a file name?

Its a firefox plugin - thats why they were downloading firefox - Within Firefox - go to Tools -> Addon's and you'll find references to LogMeIn Remote plugins - uninstall them
