You can also use this free account as a remote control for your distant PC, but with less features compared to Ammy Admin.

Problems with the free account are, limited screenshots, "only 3 agents", "only for one user" and 3GB limited storage. But if you are ready to pay for the service, you can get features like unlimited screenshots, unlimited users, unlimited storage, remote installer, support by phone, data export and ad free experience.

If you have a suspicion that you are being monitored, check all the processes in the task manager and then use Detekt to scan your computer.
