GoToMyPC is remote desktop software that allows users to access computers remotely using a web browser. It was developed by ExpertCity and launched in 1998. Citrix Systems acquired ExpertCity in 2004 and maintained the GoToMyPC brand and services. Citrix spun off the GoTo products, which were acquired by LogMeIn in early 2017. There are three versions: "Personal", "Pro", and "Corporate".
GoToMyPC allows users to access computers and their applications, files, and network resources, remotely and securely using a web browser. There are three versions of GoToMyPC: the basic version ("Personal") is intended for individual users; a "Pro" edition, which was designed for small businesses needing administrative functionality; and a "Corporate" version for companies needing stronger controls and management features. The "Corporate" version enables the ability to restrict access to the basic version, centralizes billing for multiple accounts, and offers additional user management features. GoToMyPC's tag line is "Fast, Easy, Secure".
The 2003 version's datastream is encrypted and allows information technology (IT) professionals to track when users gain access to computer remotely, but does not allow audit-level reporting. For the next release, ExpertCity planned to add and considered including audit capabilities by integrating GoToMyPC with third-party network security options. GoToMyPC Corporate 4.0 (c. 2003) uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and is compatible with SecurID and other two-factor authentication performers. Company data is protected by 128-bit end-to-end encryption and one-time passwords.
"GoToMyPC for Mac" was released in 2010, providing users access to one other Macintosh (Mac) or personal computer. "GoToMyPC for iPad" launched in 2011. The iPad app remotely connects by 3G or Wi-Fi networks, and features some multi-touch and gesture-based controls as well as autocorrection. It mirrors keyboard and mouse movements, uses 128-bit AES encryption during data transfers.
