Anyway back on topic!

I love logmein, used it today and nearly gave the girlfriend a nervous breakdown so yeah its good and useful you can use it nearly anywhere but as Driver and others have said I would create a very strong password otherwise your puter will be used as a BOT and will sing the song YOU WILL BE SPAMMED

I prefer RealVNC.

Much less bandwidth usage.

How does it work - I've scanned through the site but it doesn't really go into details...

Basically my issue is I work for a bank, and they have very high security, so various ports are blocked.. and trying to run something like pcanyway, or remote desktop out of the network is next to impossible (it's hard enough internally)...

as far as I can see it goes over port 80 so shouldnt really be blocked. but if you work for a bank then you have to be very very very careful as anything you do on the system can be classed as breach of the Data protection act

Don't think so mate, may be against the Computer Misuse act but not data protection.

So is LogMeIn safe? How long is the free trial and what happens when the trial expires??

Cheers!

I use LogMeIn Free and it's quite good. The Java is a bit buggy and sometimes hangs, but I guess that's a quirk of the old Java/Windows 2000 which they have installed at my college.

After the trial, just like the things in Cinderella (or some fairy tale), the enhanced "pro" functionality disappears, and you're left with the free verison, which is remote control only unless you choose to upgrade to the pro version and pay a sub.
