pcAnywhere Remote Control

pcAnywhere Remote Control is here to make your life easier when it comes to connecting remotely to computers that have Symantec’s pcAnywhere software installed. It’s like having a magic key that lets you control another computer without needing to install the full Symantec tool on your device.

Easy Setup and Connection

The great thing about this utility is how easy it is to set up. You don’t even need to install anything! Just double-click the executable file from the downloaded archive, and boom, you’re ready to connect to another machine. It even helps you keep track of multiple hosts by automatically checking if they are available or busy.

Scan Your Network

If you're not sure what the address of the target machine is, don't worry! pcAnywhere Remote Control has a handy feature that lets you scan your network using just the name of the computer. This makes it super simple to find and connect!

User-Friendly Interface

Once you're connected, you'll see the remote machine's screen right in front of you. The interface has options at the top, including a full-screen mode for those times when you want a more comfortable view. Plus, there's an option for automatic matching of displays so everything fits just right!

Control Options for Privacy

You can also lock out anyone sitting in front of the remote computer by disabling their keyboard and blanking their screen. This means you can work without any interruptions or distractions.

A Tool for Everyone

The best part? The simple set of options makes it easy for anyone to use—no matter how tech-savvy they are! But remember that managing Symantec’s pcAnywhere can be a different story altogether.

Security Concerns

Just a heads-up: Symantec doesn’t develop pcAnywhere anymore, so there might be some security vulnerabilities with this product. Always keep that in mind when using it!
