Now an AdWords support team member can invite you to share your screen while you’re on the phone with them and signed into your AdWords account.

There are set-up instructions here. Once you finish the Screensharing acceptance process, the AdWords rep will only be able to see the screen you chose to share, and won’t have access to your computer.

Google Screensharing actually uses Google+ Hangout technology, and the install is Google Talk. However, you don’t need a Google+ account to use Google Screensharing  with an AdWords account rep.
