VNC is very good, but you'll need to open ports on your firewall for it.
TeamViewer is also very good and works nicely through firewalls.


Have a look at WinVNC SC

This is the "Single Click" version that you program to phone home. Quite
handy since it traverses the users firewalls and NAT routers without any
configuration (you need a hole in your firewall to let it connect back).
Very good for remote support since the exe is only about 160K so you can
email it or stick it up on a web site, and the helpee can run it without
any installation or configuration.
