GoToMyPC - freeware?

robert_harper_2000

I liked the software that allowed me to control different computers from one location. However I want to control about four computers from one place. GoToMyPC added up once I added more computers, is there any software that does the same for free or less?

Try LogMeIn - it's free

Excellent, cheers mate.

Is there an issue about using my MAC to control other PCs?

As far as I know, it supports Macs and PCs. But I don't use Macs, so can't say for sure.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but how secure is the free version of logmein?

Try http://showmypc.com . They seem to have the most easy to use product, no nasty registration pages.. and good thing is it works with mac and pc . Plus, it is absolutely free . You can also personalize the look and feel for a paid monthly subscription, but for individual users like me, it works great. Beats to heck out of webex or gotomypc.com ... - Larry

i, like others, use, and like, logmein. being browser based it should work under any operating system

Sorry, to also hijack this thread, but these sort of progs seem to be what I'm also looking for. I often have to update, run scans, etc. on my MILs desktop PC. Being able to do this remotely would help save a lot of time and enable me to 'enjoy' my visit rather than sorting out her PC all the time - she can't cope with anything apart from the basics! Which would you recommend?

My husband is very interested in this but wants to know, how exactly does it work - do the computers need to be networked together to start it or does it work via the internet (not really up on all this stuff!)

Thanks for any help however!
