“TeamViewer

“Pros: A fantastic remote desktop app available for free (if you
use it for non-commercial purposes). Some very advanced features,
yet easy to use. A great option for the home user offering tech
support to family and friends Cons: Although it’s free for
non-commercial users, every time you log out of a session you get a
message to remind you. You then get directed to a webpage
advertising its features and offering to sign you up for a
newsletter

“TeamViewer is a free remote desktop tool that has been around
for a while on Windows and Mac OS. Now a Linux version is
available. TeamViewer offers a bit more than just remote desktop
sharing. It comes bundled with a host of other features such as the
ability to manage share lists, record sessions and have voice
conversations using VoIP.”
