    Hello all:

    I am wondering if there are any write-ups available, comparing the
    security of various remote control products, such as:

        GoToMyPC
        PC Anywhere
        VNC
        any others

    Also, if you have first-hand experience with security issues on any of
    these products, it would be appreciated.

    Thank you.
