Every once in a while I feel a little guilty for not sharing knowledge of a great product or service with others. So here’s one of those products that I use daily.
You may have heard of GoToMyPC in radio or podcast advertisements, but if you haven’t, it’s software that allows you to remotely connect to and use your computer when you are away from home/work. You see your desktop, and use the computer just as if you were sitting right in front of it.
While GoToMyPC does work, it has a monthly subscription fee. There is solution from another company which I believe is just as good with a totally FREE version available. It’s called LogMeIn, available at www.logmein.com.
They do have paid services that upgrade the capabilities of the software, but the free version is more than capable of usable remote access. It is very easy to use, and it doesn’t require you to reconfigure your network settings or router. All you need to do to connect to a remote computer is to log on to their web site, click the name of the computer, and enter your username and password. That’s it!
So if you need to use your computer while away, or want to help someone with a computer problem, install LogMeIn. It works great, and the FREE version is excellent.

RHUB’s http://www.rhubcom.com remote access is also a good one. You don’t need to download anything. You get instant http://www.rhubcom.comRemote PC Control, and speed is very impressive. You can also remote reboot your PC, or remote lock it. I’m especially fond of its recording feature, which can be used to record screen and voice. It’s not free though.
