Publisher's description of CrossLoop 2.02 build 2008
From CrossLoop:CrossLoop is a free, secure screen-sharing utility designed for people of all technical skill levels. CrossLoop extends the boundaries of traditional screen sharing by enabling non-technical users to get connected from anywhere on the Internet in seconds without changing any firewall or router settings. It only takes a few minutes to setup and no sign up is required. Security is built into all aspects of CrossLoop.
Session data is encrypted at the end-points before being sent using a 128-bit encryption algorithm and a randomly generated 12-digit access code. CrossLoop is a secure tool to remotely assist any PC on the planet. CrossLoop includes file transfer support, and switch control feature. Adds creation of a free CrossLoop accounts to create a dynamic public profile page, reserve your custom CrossLoop URL, view your session history, as well as widgets to promote yourself as a tech support specialist. Version 2.02 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Editor's review of CrossLoop 2.02 build 2008
4.0 stars
- "Get in the Loop"
CrossLoop provides a quick, easy, and completely free way to give a colleague, a friend, or a relative access to your computer. After installation, your PC will be assigned a 12-digit access code each time you start the program. You then give that number to another user to virtually share your desktop. Once connected, that user will have full access to your machine.
The odd nature of sharing a desktop cursor and the inability to add multiple users makes CrossLoop illogical for proper business presentations. However, the complete system access and 128-bit encrypted connection combine to create a great solution for low-budget, long-distance tech support. Guests can use any app and save files on your computer, as if they were sitting in front of the machine. No router configuration is required--a big plus. File transfers are now supported, but the purpose here remains collaboration: CrossLoop doesn't work without explicit permission from the host.
Since simplicity is a key attraction, it lacks more advanced features, and the connection must be made in two minutes or it times out. While the interface and the features are simple, CrossLoop offers a secure and fast method for two users to collaborate on one PC.

Version: CrossLoop 2.02 build 2008
"Perfect for quick remote assistance"
Pros: Simple, quick and effective. I have used this to assist my siblings, relatives and friends.
You can have COMPLETE control of the remote computer but the level of control can be changed by the person allowing his/her screen to be shared.
Cons: No (voice) chat feature which would be useful.
Lack to ability to share screen to multiple users.

Version: CrossLoop 2.02 build 2008
"No access to remote start & other menu."
Pros: I loved the fact that it was to VERY easy to access the remote computer. Very simple.
Cons: I couldn't access the remote computers start menu or other menu items. I could click buttons, start programs from the desktop icons, but even though the start menu and other menu items showed on the remote computer's screen itself when I mouse-overed the correct area, the start and other menu items didn't show on my display of the remote computer's screen. Very frustrating, and it kinda negates the whole point of remote access.
