Hey friends..

I need advice on a free, easy-to-use remote access software.

I am the computer repair tech for my family but I can't climb their stairs anymore and need to have something to use from my house. Can originate from a XP or Win 7---I do not like Windows Remote Access or LogMeIn Free.

Any ideas??

VNC isn't free on W7.

It's free! And it uses encryption.

I used Ultra VNC for awhile and it seemed pretty good. Although, that was the only program I ever used, so nothing to compare it to.

I haven't used remote access so far but TeamViewer looks attractive.
