My Mom's computer needs attention periodically, but she isn't comfortable doing too much with it. We're separated by a fair amount of distance, and she doesn't really like hiring someone to manage it.
Is anyone familiar with a consumer version of remote PC maintenance software? Typical things I need to do would be updating drivers, installing the occasional program (Skype apparently quit working after she did have someone reinstall her printer), and virus scans.
I have both Mac (Snow Leopard) and PC (Windows 7) PC's in the house, so either platform would be OK. She's running an XP box, but I think it's time for something newer for her. Either Mac Mini or PC running Windows 7 would be the choice.
Thanks!
