Remote Computer Access - Which System is Best? [aboutcomputer99.blogspot.com]

If you've been looking into solutions to give yourself remote computer access for any length of time, you've no doubt come across most of the major players in the market -- such as GoToMyPC from Citrix, PCAnywhere from Symantec, PCNow, LogMeIn, as well as some other more minor players.

With all the different options, it can definitely be difficult to try and choose one program over another. I know that when I had to choose among all the different options I had, it certainly did get confusing really fast.

So let's talk about which software package might be the best for you. Hopefully I can help you avoid some of the headache that I had to go through when I was choosing.

First, I just want to talk in general about how these programs work so that you'll have a good grasp on what to look for and what to expect from them.

I had to use one of these products a couple of years ago when my home office was turned into a nursery after my second child was b orn. I was going through a tough time in my business and needed to spend a lot of time in front of the computer.

But because I couldn't get into my home office when I needed to, I needed a solution that would allow me to work on a laptop from other locations in the house -- or even out of the house -- and still allow me to access all of the software and files that are on my main computer.

I was skeptical at first, but after I started using them I really was blown away by how well it worked. And on top of all that, it was a snap to install. I think it probably took me less than 10 minutes from beginning to end to where I was up and running and controlling my home computer from anywhere.
