Publisher's Description
From Anyplace Control Software:
Remote Control PC is free remote access software. The program displays the remote computer's desktop on your local screen and lets you use your mouse and keyboard to control that PC remotely. In other words, with this program you can operate a remote PC just as if you were sitting in front of it, right from where you are, no matter where you actually are. The built-in File Transfer feature provides an easy way to transfer files to and from a remote computer. Connection is performed over the Internet using an account and nickname. IP address is not used. So, you can bypass firewalls, routers and other obstacles. Installation on a remote PC is not required.

"Doesn't work!"
Version: Remote Control PC 5.2
Pros
Installs on both machines on our private LAN without requiring an online account - Nice.
Looks goodCons
After more than an hour installing, tweaking my system and computers, doing both on machine installs and remote installs, it just plain won't connect.
Summary
I wish it worked. I'll find something else.

"Not free! Read the EULA."
Version: Remote Control PC 5.2
Pros
Nothing that overcomes misrepresenting you product.
Cons
Quick specs section of CNET says that it is free but EULA says that it is a trial and you must pay to continue using.

To: "Anywhere Control Software"
Lying is not a particularly effective sales strategy. -
"Not worth the trouble"
Version: Remote Control PC 4.9.1.12
Pros
Gives false positives for lack of AV software. (Annoying) - using Symantec
Setup per user will take way to long.Cons
Wont let you uninstall even with admin rights. have to disable service and leave it in your PC.
Summary
Not worth the trouble for Windows 7 machines. Very buggy and has issues with sending passwords.

"Brilliant LAN remote assistance software!"
Version: Remote Control PC 4.9.1.12
Pros
- Great image quality
- Offers great tools
- Easy to setup, use and install
- Does exactly what it says on the tinCons
- Limited to 4 computers on a free license
- Looks old and boringSummary
Over-all a brilliant piece of free software. It does all the advanced work like opening up ports it's self. It's a must have if you strive to maintain your home network promptly!
If you read the comparison table when clicking "Get a free licence". It will tell you that ONLY account connection mode is limited to 30 days of use. So the lisence doesn't lie. And anyways, you don't think they pass data through their data-centre for free do you?

"Great Network remote"
Version: Remote Control PC 4.9.1.12
Pros
I needed to run software on my XP machine, but wanted to access it from Win7, The download, installation and setup were a breeze. Full remote access works wonderful. Super Easy control functions.
Cons
The remote screen view is somewhat small, but that may just be resolution settings.
Summary
Setup on host and remote (admin) computer were very simple. The user interface is very simple to navigate. The included file transfer also is very user friendly.

Summary
Don't like it because they are falsely advertising a free license when it is truthfully a 30 day trial software, but otherwise as described.
