    Am trying 'GoToMyPc' and it seems to work ok, but am totally not familiar with these types of remote access services.
    Any good place to check them out and compare ?
    'Ad-Aware' alerts it as a 'data miner' with 2-3 different urls... are there certain types of cookies that should be blocked with any of these services ?
    Any opinions, technical info, other advice, etc ?

    Try WebEx PCNow at http://pcnow.webex.com. In addition to remote access from PC to PC, WebEx PCNow also has mobile access and it costs half of what GoToMyPC costs.

    All this services are very secure.

    Hey, in addition to GoToMyPC, you may want to consider GoSupportNow. It works well.

    I always allow 1st Party cookies but block 3rd Party cookies.

    I suspect two of the 5 posts are spammers jchawla and craigwarner.

    Oops, I missed the date of the OP. :-o

    I don't know that the two posters you mention are spammers although they've only posted once apiece. Maybe 7 years ago, they couldn't find info suitable to their needs and just never came back.
