Wow - that name brought back memories. Surprised people still use it - especially after the source code was revealed a year ago. But it's simply a remote control app for your PC. People used to have it for support purposes or to be able to remote into computers from afar. But with Virtualization, RDP, and VPNs... the need to pay extra for something you can have for free is sort of unnecessary. Can it be used as a tracking device? Sure, but there are easier/more effective ways for your employer to track your technology uses.
LOL PC Anywhere was great.....in 1990. They never really made the transition to an Internet-based world. PC Anywhere hasn't been maintained in years and anyone still using it needs to be slapped upside the head for installing such a massive security hole into your PC.

It was the bomb back in the dial up days, but yea, it's long been replaced by any number of always on, or on demand remote control technologies.
We're in the field conducting examinations. It's not like we're having software issues from afar.
The fed govt is always at least decade behind in technology. LOL!
Being behind on tech isn't always a bad thing. But installing ancient, unsupported software with documented security vulnerabilities that opens your organization up to data breaches is criminal.

The problem is the fed govt can't afford to pay qualified individuals the market rate for their skills and expertise. So it generally resorts to retraining employees who either didn't like or were failures in their former positions. Some of these technical staffs were pretty notorious for their incompetence. When I worked in DC, we usually picked the person who would do the least amount of damage to our laptops. That's how bad it was.

That's sad. If I were you, I'd see if I could get away with disabling PC Anywhere on my laptop and only enable it when needed. You don't want to be the one getting hacked.
I'd like to say I'm shocked that a government agency would use that ancient piece of crap, let alone an agency that has personal data on every taxpayer in the country, but sadly I'm not surprised at all
