(Archived) Preferred Remote Access Programs- 2008 Member Choice (#15790)
Remote access software is used to control another computer from a remote location either on a network or over the internet. It can be used by customer service reps or by users to help friends and family with computer problems. When used with a home network it can save a lot of walking back and forth between computers.

There are are several different "flavors" of software in use. A very popular type uses your web browser and connects to the remote machine through a web site. This has the advantages of simple setup and overcomes problems with firewalls. Another popular one is based on the VNC protocol, many of which are free open source programs. Others are based on propritory protocols. Most contain some form of encryption for security reasons and require usernames and passwords to take control of the remote machine.
