Free Remote Connection Software
When it comes to remote connection (either attended or unattended), there are several choices you have: Terminal Services (for Windows users), VNC, commercial services, etc. just to name a few. If you do not have something in place already, take a look at TeamViewer.
This free service (for non-commercial use) allows you to both share your computer desktop with others or take control of another computer. The benefits are obvious as you can show someone how to do something or actually do it for them. One great feature about TeamViewer, however, is that it does not require any software installation (for live connection, unattended access requires installation) in order to connect to a client. Additionally, like most other commercial products, firewalls do not present any problems so nobody has to worry about lingering security implications.
