We just installed wireless on our laptop so it connects to our

We happened to be looking in System Properties on the laptop and
noticed the following in "Remote Assistance Settings"

"Allow this computer to be controlled remotely."

And "YES" is checked.

Is that OKAY? (Security Problem) Or should the "YES" be UN-checked?

You are behind a router?
Unless you have configured the router to allow the proper ports to pass
through it - you re fine. Also as long as you have strong passwords on your
account - you are fine.

Are you certain the section you are actually looking at is not labled
"Remote Desktop" and the section ABOVE that is "Remote Assistance"?
