Why not use Remote Desktop if you are using Windows XP or 2000. Also, I use
Remote Administrator and have never had any problems, I have recently
changed to VNC, RealVNC and it is working fine, although as previously
stated performance is quite poor. I am going to change to Ultra@VNC which
improves performance but is no longer cross platform.

It depends if you want to spend money or not, I use remote desktp and vnc
because they are free, if you can justify the expenditure, I have heard good
reports about symantec.
