TheFiresInTheSky Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I'm looking for a program (freeware highly preffered) that I can install and send somebody a "packet" that they run and they accept so that I could control the PC. I'm looking for it for a few of my family members and friends. Anyone heard of such a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Windows have built-in software for that, its called "Remote Desktop Connection". Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop Connection. There are RAT (Remote Administration Tools) which has this functionality. There are software like VNC. Trojans also have remote-access functionality. Technically trojans can be used for a good purpose, but often they are used for more sinister purposes.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 How do I run something like this without having to install and set up stuff on the other PC? If that's not possible, how can I just give them a packet to install that sets everything up? Does VNC do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted January 20, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 20, 2007 1. You can't control someones pc without them installing something... well you can but thats hacking and its wrong. 2. You could just give them instructions in either a text file or talk through the phone/email/IM. Basically you can't remotely control someones pc without their knowledge/input. You can go to their house and set it up for them but thats about it. Also I like Ultra VNC a lot. http://www.uvnc.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 at the link If you provide computer support, you can easy access your customer's computers from anywhere in the world and resolve helpdesk issues remotely ! With addons like SingleClick your customers don't even have to pre-install software or execute complex procedures to get remote helpdesk support. Whats that all about? I'm going to try it out and see what I come up with. EDIT: tried it out and I can't get it set up right for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
