why not something like logmein?
no firewall ports need opening, unlike VNC or RDP.

Also, join.me for quick dirty remote access with both parties present, and its also good for conferencing.

the only beef I have with Teamviewer is the app listens on port 80 - which is annoying for techs like me that sometimes need to run a local web server for various reasons!

ken07734,
>> VNC gave me a virus that cuased me a lot of issues.?
what, which of the MANY incarnations of VNC for Windows did you use?
in all my time I've used UltraVNC or RealVNC, never came across an issue where I had gotten malware... and the last time a virus hit any of my machines has got to be at least 5 or more years in the past now...
hpsait,
>> Remote Desktop does not allow the other user to see their desktop
yeah, totally forgot that one... ;-)

then you will have a 'cow' with CrossLoop, as it too uses Port 80...
