Another great alternative to the high-priced services on the market is Techinline Remote Desktop (www.techinline.com). It is a fraction of the price of LogMeIn Rescue, and for straight-forward remote support is more than enough features-wise. It requires no installation on either end: all the client has to do is provide you with a number they get off a page, and you are in! I’ve recently switched over from LogMeIn Rescue, and my customers absolutely love the simplicity of starting the connection

I used Norton PC Anywhere sometime back 2003. The darned thing opened up a lot of security holes- and ultimately let a miscreant into my system.

Don’t use it! And if you have remote registry enabled, disable it.

I wouldn’t trust this software until I get some friendly hackers to fully go through all possible exploits. Installing this is like putting doors and windows on my firewall!

VNCs allow access only over a certain port 5900 i think

Its upto you to open up this port for public access

What is the system of authorization offering by iRemotePC?. Won’t great if other people can get access to my PCs right.

Safety is first thing and the next one what I worry about it the impact it does to the os. Installing plugins every where in all softwares will screw the performace .

looks like a lot of services do this. Any review on which is the easiest to use. Also safety has to be key.

Well it’s nice, but I don’t really see a point in it.
I mean how many times a month would you actually have to use it? I would only use it once a month, MAX.

@Selbourne: RemoteAdmin is a good option, but you need to install the client application on the PC where ever you are accessing. (and OS dependent also)
Others, LogMeIn,GoToMyPC and iRemoteAccess, you can access your PC from any browser and any OS.
I have used logmein which is free.. and I think GoToMyPC is also a good option.
I’ll try iRemoteAccess soon…

I use logmein for more then 2 years now, and it’s free in it’s basic version.
Really love it

Around here, GoToMyPC is all I hear about (USA). I’ve never heard of iRemotePC, sounds like the same concept. It sounds very useful, especially when travelling.

So its something like VNC right? both the system should remain connected to internet and high speed ofcourse.
