I need help on remote desktop

[sanjana]

I want to connect my friends computer remotely and control from my system. However, we have connected through internet and can anyone help me with this and using which software I can do this and let me know if it is secure or not?

you could use the windows remote desktop thats built into windows.

or could try ultr@vnc from http://www.uvnc.com/

Windows live messenger with controle remote.

Another vote for Windows Messenger. I've it numerous times over the Internet to help people with their computers. It's quick and the other person can see what you are doing and interact as well.

For the most simple experience possible, do Windows Remote Desktop....

If you want something a little more interesting I would suggest a program called "Hamachi (https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp)". This program creates a virtual LAN between you and another computer. I would suggest getting it from a torrent site though, it looks like you have to enter some weird information in Hamachi's site in order to download the free program.

Logmein free i find is the best and easiest it also encrypts all sessions.

The best and easier and fastest way to do it for "begginers" is crossloop

www.crossloop.com

it's a 1-2mb file. Very easy to use, all you have to do is:

1. Hoster puts a password and press connect
2. Client puts same password in other tab and press connect
3. Hoster Accepts

and your connected, it's as easy as typing a little password.
It works on VNC so it should haev all the custom settings if you rightclick the viewer.

http://www.tightvnc.com/Was gonna suggest the same. RD logs the user out on the system, so he might know that something was up.

I do home user computer repairs, but if it's just the OS that's messed up and I don't need to make a house call, what would you suggest is the simplest to use, especially for the customer so they don't have to do much of anything, especially if they aren't very good with computers.

As a PC geek I know a lot of these programs, but I've never used them, and I'm considering using one for remote support...

THANKS
