Publisher's description of LogMeIn Free 4.0.774
From 3AM Labs:Free remote access is a reality with LogMeIn. Secure and ease-of-use come together in a powerful remote control solution that's 100% free and gives you full control of your home or work PC from anywhere you are with an Internet connection. LogMeIn is Web-based so it's far easier to use than alternatives - yet offers layers of security that others just don't including end-to-end 256-bit SSL encryption, dual authentication and RSA SecureID. Control your PC from anywhere quickly, easily, and securely.
Version 4.0.774 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

- "Get to your PC, anywhere"
- Version reviewed: LogMeIn Free 4.0.774
The name might be LogMeIn, but the motto should be SignMeUp.
The fact that it's free to use for multiple remote PCs, with reasonable monthly plans if you need more--five computers for $20 per month or $200 per year--makes this remote-access program instantly appealing. The program differs from its competitors in that the application runs in your Web browser. If you're running Firefox, it asks to install a plug-in and then opens an emulator of the remote PC in a new window. If you have a lot of tabs open, LogMeIn will slow down your browsing and possibly your CPUs clock speed a bit.
The control window gives you some standard options such as Ctrl-Alt-Del (which kills the connection) and changing the view settings, as well as tabbed access to adjust the connection setting. The 256-bit SSL encryption and dual passwords--one for the program and one for the remote PC's log-in--are welcome protections.
You must upgrade to take advantage of the file transfer and synchronization abilities, but creative users should be able to find ways around that restriction for small files. Still, for the functionality and the price, LogMeIn is an excellent program.

"Free really IS free, there is no bait and switch"
Pros: Simple to install, simple to use, works like a champ!
Cons: None so far.
Summary: Don't be confused by reviewers stating that the free product is not free, it IS free. The free trial period only lasts for 30 days or 2 hours of usage, whichever comes first. When that period ends, you are given a choice of subscribing to the Pro ... read more >>

Pros: indeed it IS easy to use - for however long that may be
