No, you're not protected from someone viewing your desktop if you turn on desktop sharing. Best thing you can do is not turn on desktop sharing.
It is, however, a practical support tool. I've got remote viewing clients/servers on my work machines so I can fix something for someone without having to sit at their computer. Then again, I have those machines behind a firewall, so they're not open to the outside world, and each machine has a password you have to enter in order to view the desktop. |

probably hundreds of screen sharing apps out there....
I believe full tilt can check for programs like these running, but there are so many, I'm not sure their checks can be effective.
Watching others play will probably be the most effective tool to combat collusion unfortunately. |

RC, anything that enables remotely viewing a desktop will communicate on the network and have a process attached to it. If Full Tilt really wanted to, they could have something in the game client to detect these processes running and disable the poker client.
The problem is, I've had times where my home computer couldn't get routed to the Full Tilt servers, but my work machine could. So, in the middle of a game, I closed my home client, remotely connected to my work client, and finished my game from work. If they had this checking capability, I couldn't have finished my game.
If you really want to collude, there are simpler and more effective means than remote screen viewing. |

| Yeah, and that type of software being banned would be insanely annoying, because it makes sweat sessions so much easier. In case don't know what a sweat session is, it's watching one person play and discussing the hands over skype or some similar program. It's a very good way to get better at poker. |
