GoToMyPC

If you want to do something on your computer from a distance, then GoToMyPC is something you might want to try. This lightweight remote control utility allows you to connect to your computer from anywhere in the world in just a few seconds, without too much effort. It can be used with PCs and Macs and it allows you to connect to your computer from any device.

GoToMyPC is free to try with only one computer, for 30 days. It can be installed fairly fast, but you will have to spend some extra time creating an online account and linking your computer with that account. The hardware requirements are modest and you shouldn't encounter any kind of compatibility issues if you have a modern day operating system.

Installing the application and linking it with an online account is all you have to do to prepare your remote control system. Obviously, you must leave the application running in the background. Additionally, you can bring up a tabbed preferences panel, on which you can make various changes. For example, you can balance speed and appearance, enable a few security features and more.

To connect to your computer from another location, you must log into your GoToMyPC account on any web browser, where you will find all your linked computers in a list, if you have more than one. All you have to do is click a button, next to the computer you wish to control and run an executable that will be downloaded immediately after.

The best part about GoToMyPC is that all configurations are made automatically, so you only need to specify your computer's password and you will be able to start working on your remote computer in just a few seconds.
