Hi everybody, I'm trying to decide on a free remote program, I thought I'd ask what everybody likes, I'm looking for one that doesn't require the host to reconnect me after a reboot and is fast. I like crossloop, but theres no reboot without client reconnection and it seems slow. I read about teamviewer, logmein, just wondering whats everybody likes???

I think people have already spoken on this one. Different people use different applications for different purposes. I use at least 2.

The one I have been using is Remote Support Systems (RSS). It will let you reboot in safe mode and also you can create a toolbox to save the tools you use the most. Their web site is remotesupportsystem.com. It is free to try. To get the full benifits there is a one time cost of $349. It's not free but it is at a price I could afford.

I thought VNC (the free version) did not allow to encrypt the connection.
I use Logmein, free. I have used the paid version and its pretty nice. You can have logmein reboot the PC in safe mode and a couple different modes. Logmein will allow you to setup reporting for just about anything. example, HD is 97% filled it will notify you then you call your client state the issue take care of the PC and make money. My old boss was all into being notified about any issues, because any issues = money. You can also bring up a dos prompt and install apps (if you use the silent install option). You can move documents between your pc and theirs. Just try the pro version demo its good for I think 30 days.
Of course what I explained was the paid version. The demo does not give you any of that. I tried team view and its pretty nice. But I do know that logmein was made with the tech on mind.

I also use Remote Support Systems. I have mixed feeling on free remote support software. They are a few like VNC that you can use but you should try to use something with decent encryption to protect your customers. I think there's a third party encryption to for VNC. If you decide to buy then you can't do better that Remote Support Systems. Buy once and you own it.

I use opensource software more times than not. I don't have any problems with opensource. I actually fund it every chance I get. Just think it's not such a good idea in this case.
@PyramidTechnologies You can encrypt your vnc by tunneling it through ssh! Just google it and you'll find some good tutorials.

I use Help Desk VNC
It as RC4 Encryption, Auto reconnect, tracks session time.
Reboot remote PC to normal mode or safemode including Vista.
It is not free but works so well it paid for itself in the first couple of client jobs.
