Computer remote access comes in very handy when you need to control your home
PC from work and viceversa. It's also a fast, efficient way to help a friend
- or even your customers - with software installation and configuration. But
remote control apps are usually difficult to use and hog system resources.
Well, not anymore: now LogMeIn makes remote control easier than ever by
providing you a simple, fast and free tool to access your PC from anywhere.
Just download the client and create an account on their website, and you're
ready to go. The client should be installed and launched in the computers you
want to access remotely. Then all you need to do is start your session in the
LogMeIn webpage and you'll have immediate access to your computer. You'll be
able to manage files, transfer data from the local machine to the remote
machine and viceversa (only during the first 30 days, though) and even
control the desktop and mouse in the remote PC, with a surprisingly quick
response to mouse movements. You can create various users with different
privileges or open your remote session temporarily to a guest user, so that
he or she can see what you're doing on the PC. On the downside, image
resolution is obviously not very high when remote controlling (forget about
viewing photos in the remote PC). Also, the Java-based file manager looks a
bit sloppy but that's probably due to Java itself. In all, I think LogMeIn is
one of the best free remote control apps I've tried.Download *LogMeIn Free
