How does UltraViewer work, and is it appropriate for teens?

[Walter]

My teenager says Ultraviewer is just for screen sharing and tech support, but I worry about privacy and strangers accessing the device. How does Ultraviewer actually work, and what precautions should parents take?

UltraViewer is a remote desktop software that lets someone access and control another computer over the internet using a unique ID and password, mainly for tech support or collaboration; it can be appropriate for teens if used responsibly for learning or getting help, but they should only share access with trusted people since giving remote control to strangers can risk privacy and security.
