UltraVNC is a powerful, easy to use and free
software that can display the screen of another
computer (via internet or network) on your own
screen. The program allows you to use your mouse
and keyboard to control the other PC remotely. It
means that you can work on a remote computer, as
if you were sitting in front of it, right from your current
location. If you provide computer support, you can
quickly 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.
