Publisher's description of CrossLoop 1.11

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 1.11 adds file transfer support, and switch control feature.

• "Get in the Loop"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: CrossLoop 1.11

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.

  "awesome screen sharing software"

  by jamesbond1323 on August 2, 2007

  Pros: simple and smooth screen sharing with any one and now you have the capability to transfer files and chose if the other person can only view your screen or if you both share control of it. very good for trouble shooting someones computer from home or writing a paper together.

  Cons: none really except when your internet gets bogged down the screen sharing becomes laggy

  "Worked as advertised!"

  by slbowse on November 20, 2007

  Pros: Software worked as advertised. I was having trouble getting other Remote Control products to route through my firewalls. This was not problem. TightVNC is an excellent tool.

  Cons: The connection dropped twice and I had to re-establish the connection.

  "AMAZING"

  by dougle07 on November 14, 2007

  Pros: I think this software is amazing, and extremely easy to use. I use it to help my parents out or anyone that is unfamiliar with computers. Anyone can use it, and it's so easy I can explain how to do it right over the phone when someone needs help. Make your own name and password and your on your way. I recommend this program to anyone that travels far away and has computer problems.

  "This is a GREAT PRODUCT"

  by moabites on September 24, 2007

  Pros: I liked the quick installation and the fact that I can use CrossLoop on my Vista and XP computers to access each other. I also like the file tranfer component of this product and my ability to actually control the programs on my XP computer from my Vista computer.

  Cons: I don't like that the program only gives me 2 minutes to log on to my client computer.

  "Seems to work ok"

  by Boonarga on September 20, 2007

  Pros: Tried it today for first time and it was so easy to connect. Was able to run the other computer just fine. This app is going to save me lots of traveling time.

  Cons: A little lag on the screen I was using. Not overly concerning though.
