Remote Access Security

    I needed to assist a friend with a computer problem so I got him to download logmein so I could access his computer from mine.

    The first time I try to log in, as soon as his screen appears I see a firewall alert on the bottom right of his screen saying there has been a program trying to access this computer would you want to allow it or not.

    Of course I allow it since I currently have control of the computer, even though I allow it using the program which is the potential threat (logmein).

    Is this a loophole in firewall security?
