Re: I could be wrong but

Probably naive.

I understand TeamViewer has the ability to start (privileged?) executables remotely. A number of the posts on Reddit report the upload and running of "webbrowserpassview.exe" (for example) that dumps saved passwords from Chrome.

You can still do harm with TeamViewer without gaining control of the desktop...
