One person's experience with teamviewer launching its own webserver and preventing apache from starting.

This is a confirmed teamviewer "feature" that launches a web server showing teamviewer advertising.

Can't help thinking with 15 million installations worldwide, that teamviewer would be getting a closer look by script kiddies all over the globe right now.. quite disturbing if it is actually sitting in-between as the reg report states.

Wouldn't be using it myself anyway now, thanks for that topic.
