    Hi and welcome to seven forums

    Remote Desktop or Team Viewer. Im partial to team viewer. I team view my other machines in different rooms, and use it for accessing computers at work

    I would use (or do use) Remote desktop for this type of task. I'm surprised, but while I see regular scans on FTP and SSH ports...I never see 3389.

    Windows version has an impact on the viability of remote desktop. XP Home cannot be a host, for example.

    TightVNC is an alternative. It's slower than windows remote desktop, though.

    LogMeIn Free is by far the easiest way to remote in to your home computer.
