Team viewer not free
Authored by: RobK on Jan 02, '11 08:21:51PM

Teamviewer is free for non commercial use. And it does allow you to have complete remote control of the remote user's desktop. I know. I use it a couple of times a month to support friends and family with their Mac and PC problems.

In other words, it does allow you to provide free remote support for non-commercial use.

But it does not yet provide free unattended remote access for Macs. (It seems to provide this for PC's but I have not used it).

The original post describes a Script that the person who wants support runs. After the script it run, a person can provide remote support using VNC.

Teamviewer is very similar. The person who wants supports runs the free QuickSupport Module. After it is run, a person can provide remote support over a SECURE connection for free for non commercial use. Works great for Mac's and PC's (and now Linux boxes).
