how safe is remote coding?

I dont have much knowledge with coding so I would probably need help with it. I have tried to install softwares (inpa) and was never successful, I would need someone to help me remotely but idk how safe is it. can a stranger just hack into my computer and look at my personal stuff? just sounds iffy. All I need is just to code three injectors

Like BimmerGeeks said, it's completely safe. With Team Viewer, the ID stays the same, but the auto generated password changes every time Team Viewer is restarted.

If you don't like something your coder is doing then terminate the connection. Close teamviewer or disconnect the power on your router at home. Remove the program from your computer. It's pretty common for folks to utilize remote coding. Some remote connection programs can blank the screen on the host(you). This would anger me and cause me to terminate the connection. Running a traceroute on the coder is also a useful tactic for location for prosecution purposes if necessary.
