Remote-desktop software may still seem like science fiction to the family member or customer trying to overcome a computer issue, but real heads know it’s been a useful reality for a while now. Using the remote-desktop software allows you to diagnose, operate, and fix another computer over a long distance. And while the technology is no longer sci-fi, faster networking and broadband has made the experience much faster and more enjoyable for both yourself and those you’re trying to help. While not exactly the same, it’s as close as you can get to being there in person. In addition to allowing you to help a family member or business associate with their computer problems, it’s a handy way to access your own various work or home systems remotely.

The team at PCWorld has spent many hours testing and reviewing these products and our picks will help lead you to the best remote-desktop software for your purposes. *Note that a server is the software on the computer to be controlled, and a client is the program that does the controlling. 1. TeamViewer – Best free remote desktop for occasional... Continue reading at 'PC World'
