|
|
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?? _________________

It's free! And it uses encryption. _________________ Some days are worse than others. |

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.
