PTS Rescue
What is PTS Rescue?
PTS Rescue is a LogMeIn branded computer support and remote access product that uses a proprietary remote desktop protocol that is transmitted via SSL. This allows Connect to PTS to provide remote based customer support services. The service connects the remote desktop and the local computer using SSL over TCP or UDP and utilizing NAT traversal techniques to achieve peer-to-peer connectivity when available.
About (from LogMeIn)
With the customer's permission, this small .exe file automatically downloads to the remote PC. It's the interface through which technicians communicate with Customers and conduct remote support. The applet automatically removes itself from the remote PC at session conclusion.
Overview
The most used version is 7.0.454, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with.
