Good morning folks: Wonder if somebody can help. In my system tray i keep finding something called Remote Access Host. When i hit enter on it I had the option to update or disable, which Windows advised me not to do. I had considered doing disabling this as I kept hearing an intermittent Windows type sound but couldn't find any reason for the obvious Windows alert. This morning I got brave enough to update the remote access hosting since Windows had advised against uninstalling and since I updated I do not get the noise any more. Can somebody please explain in simple terms what this remote access hosting is all about? Many thanks and I hope somebody can help. Regards: MARGARET SMITH.
