LogMeIn is a great program for remotley accessing a PC. With it you can leave your home PC on and access it from the office, out on the road with your laptop (and an Internet connection) or while you’re on holidays interstate or overseas. There are different versions of the software but the free version is more than enough for simple remote control of a PC (more advanced versions include features like remote sound and drag-and-drop file transfer).
LogMeIn is available for both PCs and Macs and the setup is easy. You just sign up and install the small client file onto the PC (or Mac) you want to control and then from any web browser, you can click onto logmein.com and sign-in, then just select your computer and you’ll have remote access. With the free version, you can have access to up to 5 different computers on one account, so you can have you home PC, office workstation and your laptop all available at once. This also makes it handy for helping out friends & family with their computers (and for complete IT support solutions, LogMeIn offer software such as LogMeIn IT Reach). If you’re looking for a remote access solution that is easy to setup, secure and quick then LogMeIn is for you.

Cool service! I use the Fog Cree Copilot myself. It’s cool because all you have to do is to send your grandma a file via email and take over her computer immediately. The downside is that you pay per minute of use (unless you have an unlimited account) but trust me, it’s faster than walking the user through menus on the phone

I’ve been using I’m InTouch for the past couple of years, not free, but has a few more features so I guess it is worth it.

Yeah, it looks like it has similar features to LogMeIn Pro, except you can purchase a single license instead of the minimum of 5. Would work out cheaper if you want the extra features and only need to control 1 PC.
