This is a list of the most recently posted comments on the site sorted so that the most recent comments appear first.
You can however sort the list on any of the columns shown by clicking on the column heading. For example you can sort by editor by clicking on the editor column. The first click will sort in ascending alphabetical order and the second click will sort in descending order.
Thanks. This is a great tool for Windows 8 like StartW8.
How much RAM does your phone have? I installed TrustGo on a wide range of devices including one with 384 MB of RAM. The phone struggled a bit to do the job (that's undeniable), but in the end it managed to run TrustGo decently.
Anyway, you must know it is hard to ask TrustGo (or any other app for that matter) to keep low RAM usage values all the time, specially when you consider the power it packs. That is even more relevant when you consider that most of the security apps reviewed here are well above the 10 MB mark even when idle.
It should be clarified, this is a Chrome-only add-in. You download it from the Chrome Web Store. Too bad I don't use Chrome... this looks pretty cool.
If your phone gets lost of stolen, what happens next is up to the person who has it. In the worst case scenario, your phone could end up in the hands of unscrupulous people who know advanced "stuff", which would severely restrict the options you have to recover your phone. That means that neither TrustGo, avast!, Lookout or any of the other apps listed above could be used effectively no matter if the phone is rooted or not.
If your device is running on Android 4.0 or up, I encourage you to use the system encryption (go to Settings > Security > Encrypt phone). It won't help you to recover your phone but at least it will keep all your personal data protected from thieves and snoopers.
Maybe the downline from TrustGO is RAM consuming issue, especially at low-end or limied stock RAM phone. I can say that because it happened at me (my phone slowing down for a little). Bassically overall features is good and secure.
It's absolutely if more features needed more resources.
I just signed up for Adrive and the site immediately went down :)))
If a perp steals your device and roots it, is TrustGo's Device Protection defeated?
You said -
"Those who want to set up complex hierarchical to-do lists will need to look elsewhere"
I say -
You do not have to look far elsewhere, you can look in their web site for Swift To-Do List Lite (free).
It is a bit hidden away, so here is the link -
www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-lite
When you download the free version, there is a little popup asking if you would like to receive the 30 day course. (I recommend that you get the course)
Here is a comparison with their other versions -

I'm still confused by all the options to choose from.
Usually on a Mac, you tell it where the directory is and it always remembers. In this case there are 3 different places where I can tell it where the Vuze/downloads directory on the external HD is, I delete the original Vuze/downloads directory from the user/library (created when I downloaded Vuze to the 2nd computer) and when I restart Vuze on the 2nd computer, it recreates the deleted directory and replaces all the parameters I changed back to the original directory location.
When I changed the directory location on computer 1 to the external HD, there was no problem. The downloaded movies appeared in the library.
No so with computer 2 using the same external HD...
Jim
I switched from Lookout Mobile Security to TrustGo after Lookout failed to back up contacts on 2 different phones. In fact; at no point did Lookout EVER function for back up. Needless to say, TrustGo performs this task flawlessly!
False blockage mentioned in AV-Test, I think they are talking about programs autosandboxed that didn't worked. I dont know how they count malware blockage by autosandbox i.e they count it as protected or missed due to inert files remains? (autosandbox protects from malware but some inert files may be there as autosandbox is a restriction thing).
If programs autosandboxed didn't run is count as false blockage, I think they should also count malware (active malware) blockage by autosandbox as protected, any info on this?
Offcoz higher settings than default increases protection. But I would recommend default as its very effective & easy in real world scenario.
Users who find configuration thing difficult or hard to understand, they will find configuration thing with any products difficult. Such users are/should not be advised to do so, default settings are carefully prepared easy/effective set of settings for such users, configuration or advanced settings are for, as the name suggests "Advanced" or expert users.
Evolution is available for Windows but I never found it stable enough to use.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/E-mail-Clients/Evolution-fo...
Even on Linux I had some severe issues such as a random desire to re-download mail that was already in one of my inboxes, and it would never auto connect to GMX if I had a torrent running.
Thunderbird on the other hand has been fine on all my systems and I use it for both Linux and Windows. As with all data I keep it backed up and on the odd occasion when something does go astray (sometimes after an upgrade) I can always restore.
eM Client is a better Evolution alternative for Windows (but limited accounts in free version) although no doubt some will complain that it's heavy. MC - Site Manager.

My personal preference is back with Opera Mail. I tried Opera in the latest version this month, and I have to say I am impressed; it offers fast / seamless IMAP and is better than anything I have tried past or present.
Some background... I have tried all of the above, and some not listed here (Zimbra amongst others) - and have (unfortunately) always ended up using the web based offerings of Google and Microsoft and for a long period have done so; but recently they "improved" their offerings to be so "feature rich" that they are too slow to load and use, and now have strange quirks in their UI that cause many a frustration.
And then we get to Thunderbird; for me I find it surprising that this is at the top of any review list - large footprint, slow / cumbersome to use / setup and frequently unreliable. An example, I contracted at a business in recent years where it was used as the primary for the email system; where it did a fantastic job of frequent corruption of its own email database and was almost impossible to restore. Following many wasted hours and lost emails, Thunderbird was dropped and the Linux equivalent of Outlook (Evolution) put in place with much improved reliability.
I have personally tried and re-tried Thunderbird on occasion over the last 4 or 5 years; it keeps coming on top of reviews so I keep hoping it has made the improvements that make it worthy of such a spot; but the end result for me is always the same - I un-install it.
I would advise, to try the following:
- Opera Mail (latest version is very fast, small, reliable and seamlessly integrates with the what is likely the fastest Windows browser available)
- Dream Mail (also very fast, small and reliable; but it doesn't have IMAP)
- Evolution (has everything including Exchange support - but is only a Linux client; its worth running a Linux VM just to use it and get rid of Outlook - it really is very good)
In my experience, too many of the clients are unreliable / slow or are trying to be "clever" when all most users really want is simple, reliable and fast email.
How about this one:

That weather site is ok for a quick look but it is severely limited in the views it displays, for instance Europe gets its weather from the Atlantic (mostly) but little of that is displayed or try anywhere in South Africa when it centres on the Sahara so not really relevant.
It also stores a great whack of DOM storage which is completely unnecessary for functionality.
If you want to do a list of really great weather sites I can give you some excellent ones.
Sorry if repost.
My external hdd (seagate) has bad sectors. Do these defragmentation tools skip the bad sectors? Do they even detect them?
Had problems with the Avast 8,will go back to Avg free.
If this relates to the same program, Rubberhose was written around 2006 by Julian Assange of WikiLeaks infamy. There was little or no follow-through, and the website is now flakey.
It's a good concept, but at the time Bruce Schneier, of encryption fame, had this to say (interpolation mine).
Google "rubberhose deniable encryption" for more.
Thanks! I love the site for all the reasons you mention, plus the interface is so easy to use.
I have been reading about a program called "Rubberhose". It doesn't seem to be active but what I read sounded like it would be the perfect tool for safeguarding information on a computer. Anyone have any experience or information on this program?
Thank you very much for letting me know about that. I was not aware that they would be stored in the logs. I've once again updated the article. If you find that there's anything else which you believe could be improved please feel free to let me know.
Thank you very much.
Great find on the Forecast site, rhiannon! This is a super page where you can add cities and learn all kinds of details about the weather, hourly forecasts, sunrise, etc., and it's very quick. Thanks!
Wow, I remember when TUCOWS and download.com were the big two. I think that is also when Yahoo was the best search engine, followed by AltaVista and WebCrawler. LOL!
Thanks for your reply. I was getting ready to post again because I figured something out. You can select "ignore" from the scan results by clicking on "clean." If you do that the results will still show up in the log (linked under tools). I'm about to send those results to Comodo.
BTW most of my initial results were false positives, so you're right about that. I'd already run the quick scan and it came out clean. I was still concerned because I'd run a "complimentary scan" of another product that showed registry errors. That's why I ran the custom scan in both normal mode and safe mode. (I realize now it took so long because I didn't unselect the hard drives.)
I'm glad you like the Forecast site. I've been using it for a while now, comparing it to other weather services. I've found it to be accurate where I live and it's picked up warnings and watches faster than the other weather sites. Your mileage may vary. :)
I've noticed a decrease in site usability over time as you have. One of the things that's really caught my eye is ads popping up somewhere in the text of the article I'm reading. It gives me quite a jolt, and then I get annoyed that I have to scroll past the ad, which can be pretty large, to get to the rest of the text.
The other thing that I find troublesome are multi-page articles where you read a paragraph or two and then have to click to the next page. Some of them have around 20 pages you have to click through to read the whole article.
If I land on one of those sites and there's no "show all" or "read as one page" features, I leave the site and don't return. Ever.
I don't want that level of inconvenience just to increase click through stats.
The sites that do have a "show all" or "read as one page" feature have my deepest thanks and ongoing support. :)
Wow, what a cool site! I like the interface, at least. But having a forced formula could be problematic.
I like http://random.pw for generating random passwords.
New Online Weather Service:
As many sites have updated and improved their web sites I have been less and less impressed. It's harder to find the information one is looking for (links and information used to be neat and all in one place and now its spread out and a lot more scrolling is necessary, navigation stinks, things run more slowly, and yes, things are prettier than they used to be, but improvements are not always improvements. NASCAR is one popular destination I can use as an example; what a mess they've made of this site.
And so, I was pleasantly surprised by this new weather "Forecast" site. I watch the weather quite closely on NWS, Accuweather, and sometimes Wunderground, mostly to check to see if I need to walk my dogs earlier than usual, but for some other reasons, as well. And so, I do have a bit of weather watching experience under this fat belt.
I have to admit that this new weather "Forecast" site does Impress. It impressed me, just plain works, and passed all my security. The only thing left to determine is how accurate it will be.
Thanks for pointing this out. If you've run into trouble I'm sure many others have as well. I've updated the article to make it more apparent that the scan results are not stored in a log and should thus be investigated while the results are still shown in the CCE window.
Also, I'm sorry about the trouble you had making the custom scan. However, my article recommends running a smart scan, which with everything else recommended should be sufficient.
In terms of quarantining files as compared to deleting them, you are correct. This was a mistake on my part as CCE does try to quarantine the files. This is better than deleting them as if you find out later that it was a mistake and the files are actually not dangerous you can restore them from quarantine. That way no harm has been done.
Thank you very much for your questions. They were very helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments about the article.
Thanks.
Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. I have updated the article with your warning.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or find anything else which does not work correctly.
Thanks.

Good info PaulJRichardson. Apparently the latest version has turned commercial but you might want to check out the last free version which is still available for download from third party websites. One of them is shown at the Quick Selection Guide.
Or you could just drag and drop a folder onto Favorites in a Windows Explorer window.
FYI: DigiSigner is not freeware as far as I can tell. There is a trial.
Wow, that was a quick response! Thanks for helping me Jojoyee.
Once I read your response I installed trustgo but then I went the lookout way. Now I'm trying to make up my mind between the two :P
I love your QR codes scheme. I just point 'n shoot and I go to the app I want fast 'n easy. Great Idea!
Thanks for your kind comment DaRK.STaR. TrustGo Antivirus & Mobile Security is a new top pick selected by our fellow editor IO.Hazard in the review article. It's now updated in this mega list. Give it a try and hope that you'll like it.
Nice list!
I just got a tablet and I wanted to install an antivirus. This listing shows lookout and avast as the best ones but the best antivirus for android (your review) shows trustgo and avast as the tops choices. Who am I suppossed to believe? Does anyone else have some any suggestions?
Unfortunately though it is necessary to compare apples with apples and not the orchard owner's interpretation of what came off the trees. In this respect AV-Test clearly states that:
Protection against 0-day malware attacks, inclusive of web and e-mail threats (Real-World Testing) was 84% and 90% for Jan/Feb when the industry average is 95%.
Also:
False blockages of certain actions carried out whilst installing and using legitimate software scored 5 when the industry average is only 1.
False positive detections were also more than three times the industry average.
http://www.av-test.org/no_cache/en/tests/test-reports/?tx_avtestreports_...
On this basis, the ZoneAalrm test results (which is also free) are higher:
http://www.av-test.org/no_cache/en/tests/test-reports/?tx_avtestreports_...
Of course you can argue all day about the relevance of these tests (and indeed others) to average home users but that is not the point in question here.
Also, when I look at these things I do not perform the exercise alone. In addition to my own installation I impose the software on a range of folks including friends, neighbors and ex customers who like to feel they are contributing to a service. The overwhelming feedback I get regarding CIS is how difficult it is to understand and configure. Admittedly this centers mainly on settings above the default configuration but the fact these are there suggests to any right minded person that the protection level must be greater when these are employed, otherwise why have them? This is when the majority of users get lost, and making wrong choices has the potential to damage their system or protection level thereof.
I looked at this program but decided not to include it because it comes bundled with other programs that will be installed if you are not careful.
I assume you mean "the other computer Vuze copy" can't "see the downloads"
I also assume the external is connected to the computer in question.
Since you have already added the torrent to that Vuze, you can try the context menu entry for the torrent (a right-click in Windows - not sure in Mac) Advanced>Files>Move Data Files and choose the directory containing the content. If that does not work, then remove the torrent from that Vuze and see below.
If it is completed, then you need to be in Mode of intermediate or advanced
http://wiki.vuze.com/w/UG_Options#Mode_options
Add the torrent to Vuze using File>Open>Torrent File (Ctrl+O)
http://wiki.vuze.com/w/UG_Menus#File_Menu
This presents you with an Add Torrent screen where you can choose the save directory. You will need to set the "Add Mode" to "Seeding" (Only visible in intermediate or advanced mode)
http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Seed_an_existing_file
If you choose the directory containing the content, Vuze should recognize it and adjust the %. There are some issues with Mac on resuming a partially completed torrent that might change this procedure a little even on a completed download.
http://wiki.vuze.com/w/How_do_you_resume#Mac_OS_X
BTW I am on the road and on a WiFi right now and may not be able to get back quickly if you have more Qs.

Rob - According to the CometDoc FAQs; 1GB is the maximum total for 'stored' files. The transfer file size for free users is limited to 100MB per day.
Cheers.
I want to share an external hard drive that contains my Vuze downloads between 2 Mac computers. I created the files on the external on one computer but the other computer Vuze copy can see the downloads even though I've input the right volumes. Is there a trick?
I just tried to update mylockbox, and the update came with OpenCandy.
Yep, I noticed the same thing this morning when I booted up - it seems to eat up resources.
I have also uninstalled...

CIS version 6 has eliminated popups & now is easy enough for any/all users. AV has improved a lot & at par with other top AVs. Upcoming feature Valkyrie is excellent in detection/zeroday detection with very very very few/rare FPs.
About the AV-Test - Comodo Dev, Egemen posted in Comodo forum ---
Let me Share with you the detailed results:
av-test tested CIS 6 for 2 months, January 2013 and February 2013.
Here are the results:
January 2013:
1. BLOCKING OF "REAL WORLD" ATTACKS
Completely blocked malware attacks: 47
Partially blocked malware attacks: 7
Attacks not blocked (system got infected): 2
Protection: 54/56 - 96%
2. DETECTION OF PREVALENT MALWARE (STATIC AND DYNAMIC) - Standard Settings :
Detection Rate: 7423/ 7426 - 99.96%
False Positives: 22/293897 - 0.0074%
February 2013:
1. BLOCKING OF "REAL WORLD" ATTACKS
Completely blocked malware attacks: 62
Partially blocked malware attacks: 7
Attacks not blocked (system got infected): 0
Protection: 69/69 - 100%
False Positives(Behavior Blocker alerts):5/70 7%
2. DETECTION OF PREVALENT MALWARE (STATIC AND DYNAMIC) - Standard Settings :
Detection Rate: 10839/ 10841- 99.98%
False Positives: 22/308887- 0.0071%
As you see CAV detection rate is 99.9%. False positive rate is pretty low.
The only thing i personally care is the fact that in January, there were 2 reported infections despite CIS and these are fixed.
We are not allowed to disclose the others' results so hence cant compare with others too much. The main reason we look low on is false positive rate. Not the protection, not the usability you may think.
Let other vendors publish their own results and you guys compare and decide. When i interpret these results, i see a solid product within top 4 and in this top 4 CIS is the ONLY free one.
windy,I discovered that Zoolze was eating up ALL my CPU cycles and my Intel i5 was running at 100% and nothing else would hardly work...needless to say I booted the Zoolz off my machine ASAP! The damn thing is malware as far as I am concerned.
Just tried this it has saved me some considerable time so I think I'll leave others to speculate about its demise and in the meantime will take advantage of the freebie whilst its here. Thanks for pointing it out Rob.

I think these instructions need to be updated. When I didn't push "apply" after the Comodo scan was done, the results disappeared. They didn't appear again at the restart and they don't appear in the logs. I'm frustrated because it took hours to finish the custom scan I did and now I'll have to do it all over again. I remember where some of the files are, but not all of them. If I'd known they were just disappear, I could have written them down before closing the program.
I'm also wondering if it's as dangerous to quarantine files as to delete them. I had run an earlier scan before reading this article and did push "apply." That quarantined the files but didn't delete them. Is this a new feature of the program, or were you referring to quarantining files in your article?
Before you install Free OCR, for your safety, read the comments on CNET - it appears to be full or crapware and malware that cannot be fully removed from your computer and is very difficult to avoid during installation. What's a better alternative? Cuneiform / Open OCR is no longer available.

because Minitool data recovery got Gizmo's Freeware award as the best product in its class, so i downloaded it and it is really good as Gizmo said. and they have bootable CD, too. you can go to their official site for more information.
you should mention that you have to create an account to use this thing. there are many others that don't require that.
I'm not quite sure what you did. Are you saying that there is no folder "\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts". You say "Network was not there" but the folder you want is "Network Shortcuts".
Tried this out & when I got to windows, Network was not there for Win7. I tried it unblocking hidden files & folders & it was still not there???? Is there a missing step???
dv8Cowboy,
Can you explain something to me about the initial installation?

Hi pelms,
Strange. You might find some clues in this FAQ - http://wummel.github.io/linkchecker/faq.html.
HTH
Well in this test it came close to bottom although these things should always be researched a bit more deeply.
http://www.av-test.org/en/tests/home-user/windows-8/janfeb-2013/
Comodo's focus has always been on prevention as opposed to pure detection and when configured correctly by knowledgeable users will give first class protection. Achieving this status for average users though is quite a climb so unless they are prepared to follow the guides and read Comodo's own documentation, IMO they will be better off with one of the other solutions listed here. MC - Site Manager.
Any views on the antivirus component of Comodo Internet Security? I never thought it was that good (I use Avast free + Comodo firewall) but recently it's been getting good reviews.
Great article! Thanks. Your advice helped me choose FDM, which is a very nice program. Here are a couple of comments:
1. If used in IE, FDM has a very nice feature that lets you download multiple links on a webpage. Simple drag to select the links and then right-click the selected area. A context menu comes up that lets you do a batch download. VERY USEFUL!
2. FDM does not integrate well with Chrome. Since Chrome is my main browser I had hoped to use FDM in Chrome but it just doesn't seem to work too well. No big deal, however, since I've got IE installed and can just use it when I need to do a lot of downloading.
3. STEER CLEAR OF DAP. When you install it, it recommends strongly that you install a speed-up add-in. Once installed, this addin then hijacks your search and homepage. Very poor!
4. FlashGet might be a good program but their homepage doesn't inspire confidence. They have about three different versions listed (3.7, 1.9, 1.7) and don't explain the difference between them. At least I couldn't find any explanation. Once again, probably better to steer clear.
Thanks again
I've been using Xenu for years (which works very well) and was keen to try the LInkChecker as an alternative.
Unfortunately LinkChecker is not finding broken links for me but just giving lots of "Error: error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" messages. These aren't 'robots.txt' exclusions as these give a specific "Access denied by robots.txt" warning.
Even links to Google result in the above error.

just tried it d/loading the best quality mp3 -256kps and even though when clicking on the "get mp3" button it does open another tab it takes 18 seconds till i'm back @ y/t where my video is still playing, if i get my moves in sync you could do it in 12-15 seconds it takes longer to find a song than it does to rip 256 quality mp3's.

I was browsing around on Softpedia. And I discovered a rather interesting, um case of TWINS.
Here is the link to the screenshots of PrivateFirewall:

OK?
Now, check the screenshots for an older firewall called

Gee, I believe that when Webroot "disappeared", it became PriveateFirewall, either that or it is a clear case of copying.
Just thought I'd share that with the nice people here.
BTW, I have used PrivateFirewall in the past, excellent package. A wee bit too "chatty", or maybe that would be "naggy"?
The only problem with this is when the website decides to quit or goes out of Biz, the user doesn't have this wonderful feature anymore. I think Google will be here a long time and Microsoft will be here a long time and Verizon will be here a long time but...well, you understand what I'm saying.

Thank you! That means I don't have to hunt down another product with fewer features to fill a gap.
Having your browser hijacked is a "minor inconvenience"?
No, it's a reason never to go near the guilty party ever again.
Well, the OP did say install and not upgrade. Even so, most would regard this as a minor inconvenience considering the changes are so easily reversed and certainly no reason to move to a different firewall. MC - Site Manager.
PotPlayer no longer has any support at least not in English One used to be able to post bugs at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148745. Doom no longer supports PotPlayer over the issue of "legal software".
PotPlayer as good as it is has issues. I've noticed that the lips and voice don't sync in some movies. However VLC and Smplayer have no issue. Also the video/ audio quality is just slightly richer for these latter players.
PotPlayer still remains my fav player but for how long? I guess until I get tired of the bugs.
Please update this link so the users can still get support if you can.
Thanks
You can try "Windows 7 Firewall Control": easy-to-use and effective! You can run it with native Windows Firewall on - so you don't need to disable in-built firewall.

MidnightCowboy: I'm seeing the same thing as Kuoi. The latest ZA upgrade only offers a Quick Install option; the Custom Install option has been removed. Maybe those choices show up later in the installation, but when I chatted with ZA tech support I was told that this is the new normal -- you cannot set or override the defaults during an upgrade. The tech said I'd have to completely remove ZA and reinstall to get the custom install option. I can back up my security settings, but would have to manually undo the changes they make to my search engine and home page. I'm going to stay with the current version of ZA.
You can opt out of these changes, or change them back after install.

No one can help you with an alternative unless you tell us which operating system you have. MC - Site Manager.
Since today's version 11.0.000.504 of "ZoneAlarm Free" you can't install without checking the 2 following boxes ...
"Set Zonealarm Search as my default search provider for : Firefox"
"Set Zonealarm Search as my home page and new tab for : Firefox"
NO THANKS !!!
Anybody knows a good alternative with user rules ?
With user rules i mean you'll get a popup where you can decide to block or allow a program to send data to interenet.

Hi,
It's a really excellent piece of writing here and explanation. I finally understand what I should be looking for to choose best option. Really thanks for this.
Some people mentioned Areca Backup:
http://www.areca-backup.org/features.php
I find this program one of the best free tools. Before, I thought I'd go with Backup Maker, Genie Timeline Free Edition, or Toucan. However, after reading comments a few readers pointed out some issue with Toucan (apparently, it crashes) and Genie Timeline. The others mentioned Areca Backup.
So, Areca Backup is free and very functional. How about its file validation feature, if there is any at all? I don't really understand how validation works to be honest. I'd be grateful if someone would explain that :)
In FAQ, I found some explanation:
"How does Areca detect modified or new files when incremental backups are chosen ?
Areca uses the file's size and last modification time to detect modified files. If one of these attributes is modified (whatever its value is), the file is flagged as modified.
Since v7.2.17, Areca can also inspect the file's content to detect modifications of its content (which is much slower than detection based on attributes) "
but I don't know if this is the same as validation.
Cheers.
This article cannot be complete without mentioning Newsbiscuit, one of the few comical sites that regularly has me laughing out loud.

Love it! Thank you!
Beautiful photo... thank you rhiannon! :-)
Thanks a bundle again.
Wouldn't know how to configure this if not for the guide.
Even though I was using your guide for the ver.5, ver.6 is still daunting for a non techie.
Update from ver.5 to ver.6 didn't work, & couldn't run, I had to uninstall & then reinstall the new version.
Through trial and error I noted that a user of OpenDNS's DNScrypt will have to uncheck "Firewall Settings" - "Filter loopback traffic" to enable network connections to work properly. This setting was not in ver.5. Thought you should be informed.
Thanks again.
DiskCryptor was updated to 1.0.757.115 Stable on 2013.01.03
Reasonable lists indeed ;)
Thanks for info.
I worked my way through the options whilst installing, and came across a place to set the timeout (just in case I get nervous).
Info for others, it installs the Pro (30 day trial), but you can go to the web site and switch to free.
I was assuming that it could double for the program the person remoting in would use, thus showing a proper window, and not just say a web page.
I have not stumbled across what the person remoting in is meant to use (if he wants a program to view with.
Could you elaborate on that for me ?
Thanks,
Rob
My first suggestion is:
gegeek.com
which is -THE- List.
My second suggestion is:
lists.thedatalist.com/index.html
which is awesome, too.
Yes, the logmein program on the host PC runs as a service, which means you don't need to be logged in to connect to it. If the machine is turned on, that's good enough. And if you restart the machine remotely, you can then connect back into it once it has started up. I do that all the time, with the free version of logmein.
