URGENT!

Not unless they are sat in front of your pc

[sandyRoe]

what is 'event viewer'?

[hc4361]

Sorry, just re-read the question. No, they can't.

[Jomlett]

"Event Viewer is an advanced tool that displays detailed information about significant events on your computer. It can be helpful when troubleshooting problems and errors with Windows and other programs."

Er yes they can but only if they have an administrator password on your machine in which case you can connect to the remote machine and view the event log

[boxtops]

Only if you've given them permission and they have certain rights to access your computer.

Have you had a phone call saying that your computer's not working properly? If so, ignore - it's a scam.

[corneliafaust]

Yes, he can if you downloaded the app and allowed the person access to your computer.

You're thinking of teamviewer, cornelia.

EventViewer doesn't need to be downloaded, it is a part of Windows.

[corneliafaust]

But you should be wary of such calls. It's most probably a scam, a trick for them to steal information stored in your computer or get you to disclose bank information. if you get a call like that, or if you did already, it's important to report the caller's phone number to http://www.callercenter.com to raise a warning.
