If I take control of another computer's desktop remotely, can I access the internet through the remote computer's browser? And can any activity be traced back to the "master" computer or just the remote one.

Not enough detail, the question is too broad.
Yes, you can access the internet, you access the remote internet connection, so it's ip address is recorded at the other end, not the master computer.
Activity can be traced back to the master computer in the cases of fraud or criminal activity.
Bookies for example could not trace it to the master computer.
That's about all I'm willing to give away on an open forum.

But it is certainly possible to track criminal activity back to the original master computer.
I have done it many times for the Police, it's all recorded....somewhere.

Thanks BTO, I think that actually answers just about everything I need to know. And it's not for criminal activity! And it's not for betfair.

One more question if I may. Is there a particular piece of software you would recommend? Or is none needed.

No software required, windows remote desktop software is ample.
You could go and set up VPN software, but in my view that's overkill, unless it's a matter of national security ;)

why would u go to this level of complexity, if it is not for illegal issues.

Well, firstly, from what I gather it's not particularly complex. It's commonly used in companies for employees to access their computers from home.

I would have thought it's fairly obvious why it might be of interest to people on here (I'm not talking about PC avoidance or anything connected to betfair).
