[SOLVED] offsite PC accessing software

Nutbuster · 01-04-2009, 09:40 AM

I need to purchase user friendly software that will allow us to access a desktop from any other computer via the internet. I know PC Anywhere, by Norton does this, but I am not aware of any other software that provides this capability. It's been my experience with Norton's Internet Security software that it is an extremely "heavy" program so this causes me concern about loading any Norton products Is there an easy to use program out there that will allow us to do what we need?
Thanks in advance!

Take a look at UltraVNC. I also use TeamViewer for remote support.

Thanks John. Team Viewer seems to work fine. Marking this thread solved.
