Mammabert (Baujahr 1936) has just been introduced to the 21st Century by Maxbert ( Baujahr 1968), and now owns a laptop and is equipped with WiFi connection and all the trimmings. I bought her a Dummies book, and she is now fairly self-sufficient, at least insofar as web banking and Skype are concerned- I have warned her against 419ers and the like, installed Avast, made sure she had a clean install and I removed all confusing OEM shortcuts.
So far so good, but she lives 1000 Km from me and I would like to be able to do remote assistance when needed whilst “seeing” her PC, instead of shouting down the ‘phone trying to agree on what we are both seeing …
Are there any free (or cheap) PC Anywhere-type programs which I could install (and get Mammabert to install without either of us going into an apoplectic rage) which could enable me to maintain her computer at a distance?
Many thanks,
Maxbert
