Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.

Version: LogMeIn 4.0.656
Pros: I have tried many differtn software to try to control my dad's PC in India from me sitting in the USSA. I operate my computer from behind router and a software firewall (ZoneAlarm) and have never been able to connect. Until now - this program is excellent. Install it and it just works.
After 2 hours of use it automatically switches to teh free version unless you pay the retail fee, but the free version also works great and is adequate for my needs - whcih is controlling my Dad's computer from 5000 miles away to fix some issues.
