Default logmein

I've seen this mentioned now and again on Scoobynet and found the need to try it the other day.

Absolutley brilliant!

Managed to log into a computer in a place where I don't control the router/networking equipment and those that do, don't like us! But I logged in, did some housekeeping and saved time today.

I've just logged in and think I found the answer to a problem we had today - something that would have taken me ages to find normally - thanks to the logmein summary.

Be interesting to see what level of info I get when my free trial ends. The service from it the moment seems like it would be worth every penny.

Free one is not quite as comprehensive but still an amazing tool.
I've got a stack of relatives on mine but don't actually use it often enough to justify paying. But it is very good when required.

I've set up VNC and other such things for some relatives. But I think I'll start logmein for them now. So much easier.

I just use the free version since it expired and its still priceless.

Just so easy to access friends, families and my machines regardless of where I am. Superb Why spend forever on the phone trying to resolves issues when 2 mins of remote control and its sorted. I haven't needed the extra features as there's always other ways to acheive them.

Work have a couple of sites that use it.

Webex is another 1 worth looking at, but it costs £85 a month er licence.

Hello

Logmein is just brilliant and free. If you are troubleshooting friends/relations PC's you can also use Remote Assistance which works very well. They then don't need to install/configure anything.
