'Netrunner', and 'Gvwm'
Netrunner
Netrunner is a remote-control program with which you can control another pc over internet or lan. The connection to the target-pc is password-protected, so no one but you is authorized to do it. Netrunner shows the screen of the other pc and can control its mouse and keyboard. Additionally there is a file-explorer integrated to download or upload files, you can send messages.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: A number of users have reported that Netrunner carries a virus called "backdoor.trojan". The author of Netrunner states that this is not the case. Quote:
" A few Antivirus programs think that Netrunner is a Trojan. I already [asked] that they remove [Netrunner] from their [antivirus] Database, but [the antivirus companies won't respond to my plea]. [As you know], a Trojan is a Tool which allows to control a PC over Lan/Internet; [similarly], a Remote-Control program [such as Netrunner] does the same. [The problem is that if a software author makes a remote-control program and the antivirus software company does not recognize the small-time author (like myself), this often results in a false positive]. But Netrunner has nothing to do with a Trojan ... plus it cannot be used without the [knowledge of] the user. And the connection to the remote pc is protected by a password, so nobody can misuse Netrunner. " ~ Matthias Koch / Author of Netrunner "
