If you are like most of us, then you use the remote desktop feature of your computer quite a bit. Whether you are at home or at work, your desktop is open to all of us. It's quite possible that you've even used Remote RebootX and found it useful. It's such a powerful tool, but can it cost you hundreds of dollars? Yes, it can. The software's creator, Remote Reboot, is quite vocal about this fact, but there are other tools available online that are probably cheaper. So how can you determine which one is the right one for you?
The free software is only free if it has a few drawbacks and many drawbacks do exist with the free version of the program. Although the free version of Remote RebootX does have a limited set of features, it doesn't limit you to just one desktop; in fact, it doesn't have much of a limit at all. This makes it easy to log on multiple times at different locations around the house. This is why many people think that this program is "free", but they have a lot more to pay for than just the software itself.
A lot of the "free" programs are "one time use" downloads, which mean that if you don't have an Internet connection at the time the download is completed, the download will be deleted from your computer. After you have used the software, the download is also gone. It's frustrating when this happens because you would have saved money by buying the software in the first place. If you can run a scan to find out if the software is installed and if so, you can delete it before you even use it.
