Whilst working on your desktop computer you may be called to a meeting where you forgot to bring those important plans and company forecasts. All you need is the basic information, but you can't afford to take the time to run back to your machine, log in and print off the data. The answer is to access the computer remotely and take the information you need from the desktop. Remote access tools have been around for a while, but many users are put off thinking that they may represent a security hazard opening their desktop computer to outside access.

Laplink Everywhere has been re-released as a free limited edition that enables you to access your remote PC from just about any location. This could be a temporary host PC or your mobile phone. The limited edition works as the full version for 30-days and, after this period, enables basic remote access. You won't be able to control the desktop, for example.

Laplink Everywhere is secure. It's tried-and-tested remote access technology that's now in its fifth incarnation, from an established brand. Simply install on the desktop computer where you'll want to access remotely and then the toolbar on any machine where you want to access and use your remote PC.
