The Internet provides access to an ocean of information as well as many ways of wasting spending your time, finding a job and doing pretty much anything you want. From the very start, there've been ways to steal data, money and engage in other indictable offenses. As the Internet was developing and getting more popular, it came to provide more ways to abuse the technology. The recent incindent in Q4 2014 when Sony Pictures leaked private data has again demonstrated that security is a big concern. It wasn't just an ordinary data leak. The company leaked the personal information of its employees and unreleased movies, and this has increased the political tension between the USA and North Korea even further.
Working on your computer from another computer is nothing new. Then why is it so popular, even among those who are not IT pros or computer enthusiasts? Also, what does remote access mean for your business?

There are quite a lot of options to remotely access Macs. For the sake of readability, let us consider them in groups.
You are supporting a customer remotely but suppose that you (or they) have no Internet connection. What's next?
UAC (User Account Control) is an extra layer of security introduced in Windows Vista. It suspends any application you want to run: a dialog box pops up asking for an explicit permission to run the app. While offering extra security, UAC certainly complicates remote support because you lose control over the remote machine in some cases.
But let's see what other options we have here. All workarounds suggested are for Windows 7 but they also should work in Vista and Windows 8.

Obviously, as you are getting more customers (and bigger customers), your managed IT assets grow, sometimes exponentially. Keeping all stuff in separate Excel sheets might be a problem. You have to buy software and hardware, keep track of users, you’d want to know what software is installed and where it is, etc.
