5 Awesome Remote Assistance Programs, Tools [Free PC Software]

Posted by mezzoe blog on Tuesday, August 03, 2010 1 komentar

Whenever there’s a tool, software or program that you need, there is usually a free version of it that you can download or use on a free trial basis. The good thing about making use of such tools is that you can ‘test drive’ the tool, software or program and see if it is a good fit for what you need.  
One example is a remote assistance software. First, let’s have a quick look at how it works. As the name implies, a remote assistance software is a program that you can use to provide technical assistance to another person and make as if you are sitting right in front of the same computer being used. If person A, for example, is having problems with his computer and person B is offering the remote assistance. With the help of a remote assistance software, person B will be able to see the same things that person A is seeing on his or her computer.

Sometimes, this type of assistance is needed because it is quite difficult to troubleshoot a windows problem if you do not see what is on the computer screen or desktop or what the error actually looks like. Another case when remote assistance proves to be handy is when you are working away from your home computer or you might need your virtual assistants to work on your computer. With the help of a remote assistance software, you can access your own files as if you are using the same computer that you have at home.
