| Note: Step 4 may display a few message boxes which are explained below: |
|
| a. |
If a security warning message box appears on your screen,
Click "RUN"
rather than "Save" as nothing needs to be saved to your computer.
Your computer will then download a temporary piece of code to enable us to connect to your computer.
This software will disappear when we disconnect.

If you are running Norton’s Internet security or other such firewall software you may then see a second security warning, something like that shown on the right
