What is GoToMyPC?

How secure is GoToMyPC?

GoToMyPC boasts a bushel of additional security features. It uses AES 128-bit encryption to encipher all data as it is transmitted between PCs, deactivates an account for 5 minutes if three straight login attempts fail (so a hacker can't just keep guessing until he or she nails your password), and doesn't store machine access codes on its own servers, where they might make a tempting target.

How to get onto a host computer?

Next, from a browser running on any computer with a Web connection--including Mac and Linux systems--just log on to the service, click the Connect button, and enter your access code. In 15 to 30 seconds, depending on your connection speed, a Java applet loads into your browser and the host PC's desktop appears on the remote computer's screen. Voilà!

How to remotely control a PC?

To set up your account, head to the GoToMyPC Web site, register using your e-mail address, create an account password (GoToMyPC requires passwords with at least eight characters and numbers mixed in), then download and install a file on the host PC, (the computer you'll want to access from afar).

The whole setup process took us just 10 minutes from start to finish. Try that with pcAnywhere.

Does GoToMyPC work?

Unless the host has an always-on connection to the Internet, such as a LAN, DSL, or cable, GoToMyPC simply won't work. Unlike desktop apps such as LapLink, Timbuktu, and pcAnywhere, GoToMyPC doesn't offer a modem-to-modem option that lets you "call" a host not currently connected to the Net. If your host isn't always online, LapLink is your best alternative.

Can you lock your keyboard and mouse on GoToMyPC?

GoToMyPC's original security no-no has been fixed. You can now blank the screen and lock the keyboard and mouse of the host as soon as a remote connects to it, ensuring that anyone around the host PC can't see what you're doing or when you're controlling it from afar. Unfortunately, GoToMyPC's remote-access is all or nothing. Unlike LapLink, it can't restrict access to just some folders or files.

Is GoToMyPC fast?

Because GoToMyPC controls your host PC over the Internet, the service runs only as fast as your Net connection.

Boost your bandwidth to T1, DSL, cable, or even ISDN, however, and GoToMyPC produces response times and screen redraws fast enough for most tasks.
