Seems kind of quiet here

Ok, everytime I read a news story about a sys admin who left one too many things running on the web server, I often hear programs like pcAnywhere mentioned. I personally use pcAnywhere, with encryption, logging, blah, blah, etc all that stuff turned on. I don't recall ever reading anything about "big exploit in pcAnywhere gives hacker full control of machine" so why do news sites always play it down as "stupid admin left pcAnywhere in host mode when server was hit with code red". Is it me or does it not make sense? So just a curious question for the Micro$oft Gurus ( ) about what remote control tools do you recommend.

Myself I've used:

SMS- By microsoft I think, LOL works ok, but a huge memory hog? Why does it use so much RAM in idle, ??? I hate that thing.

pcAnywhere- This one works as advertised, network or modem connection, even printer port if you are really hurting.

Recommend:
Well out of the two that I remember, pcAnywhere wasn't as big of a memory hog, LOL. So I don't recommend anything
