Reviewed by: CNET Staff
CrossLoop provides a quick, easy, and completely free way to give a colleague, a friend, or a relative access to your computer. After installation, your PC will be assigned a 12-digit access code each time you start the program. You then give that number to another user to virtually share your desktop. Once connected, that user will have full access to your machine.
The odd nature of sharing a desktop cursor and the inability to add multiple users makes CrossLoop illogical for proper business presentations. However, the complete system access and 128-bit encrypted connection combine to create a great solution for low-budget, long-distance tech support. Guests can use any app and save files on your computer, as if they were sitting in front of the machine. No router configuration is required--a big plus. File transfers are now supported, but the purpose here remains collaboration: CrossLoop doesn't work without explicit permission from the host.
Since simplicity is a key attraction, it lacks more advanced features, and the connection must be made in two minutes or it times out. While the interface and the features are simple, CrossLoop offers a secure and fast method for two users to collaborate on one PC.
Publisher's description
From CrossLoop :CrossLoop is a free, secure screen-sharing utility designed for people of all technical skill levels. CrossLoop extends the boundaries of traditional screen sharing by enabling non-technical users to get connected from anywhere on the Internet in seconds without changing any firewall or router settings. It only takes a few minutes to setup and no sign up is required. Security is built into all aspects of CrossLoop. Session data is encrypted at the end-points before being sent using a 128-bit encryption algorithm and a randomly generated 12-digit access code. Explicit permission is required before any screen images are sent to a remote computer. CrossLoop is a secure tool to remotely assist any PC on the planet.
Version 1.02 includes custom interface skins and has perfomance improvements.

Version: CrossLoop--Simple Secure Screen Sharing 1.02
Pros: It appears to be good but, since I have no one yet to share screens, I haven't really used it yet.
Cons: Hard to test because it won't connect for test.

Version: CrossLoop--Simple Secure Screen Sharing 1.02
Pros: Quick, easy connections, and smooth screen sharing for remote assistance.
Cons: What's missing may actually be to its benefit. Skins let you change the look of the chunky, fisher-price-esque interface, but otherwise there is no fluff, nor advanced features, to complicate the use of this tool.
