Simple to set up (no configuration, even through firewalls) and you can store all of your computers under your accouont so that the next login only requires a click.

RAdmin) which I've used for years. It's a direct-connection app, not relying on a web browser, and also uses encryption. It's not free, but I recall it only costing something like $30-$50 which is quite reasonable. To connect over the Internet, however, it needs a pinhole opened in the firewall, so it's not perfect for everyone's needs. Oh, it also has a great full-screen mode which is even superior to Remote Desktop (aka Terminal Services). Sunbelt Sofware also sells Remote Administrator (ie. RAdmin) which I’ve used for years.

It was intended for long distance IT assistance and desktop meetings, etc, etc, but it really is a simple and powerful tool for remote desktop work. Another great tool to use is CrossLoop.

GoToMyPC is only free for 30 days. I’ve never used GoToMyPC.com but one major advantage that LogMeIn has over it is that it is free. GoToMyPC is only free for 30 days.

LogMeIn uses 128 - 256 bit encryption so it is secure. I have been using it for over a year and have never had any problems with security.

Also, is there any protection against hackers who also want to view the computer I would be viewing and also the one I would be working at. Thank you for your response.
