If someone called you — saying they are from Microsoft, your bank, or that your computer has a virus — and told you to come to this page, stop and close this window. That is a scam, and this tool would give them control of your computer.
Only continue if you contacted your own IT company, on a number you already had, and they are expecting you.
Download and run the tool
It does not install itself. There is nothing to uninstall afterwards.
Type the code your technician gave you
A short code, valid once, for one session only.

That ends the session and removes everything the tool set up.

The tool is open source, on purpose — it runs with administrator rights on your machine, so anyone can read every line of what it does. It is digitally signed by Filippos Iliadis, ProxyLink's developer, and Windows will show you that name before it runs.
You may see “Windows protected your PC”. That appears on newly published programs until enough people have downloaded them — it is not a virus warning, and it will stop appearing as this tool becomes more widely used.
