Mac remote control is far from a breakthrough: GoToMyPC archrival LogMeIn already has it in its free and for-pay versions, and OS X even has a version built in, in the form of its Screen Sharing. GoToMyPC gives you the freedom to go anywhere you choose and connect right to your Mac or PC. To use this free app, you must first have a GoToMyPC subscription.
HELP FILE
GoToMyPC uses a 'helper' application, called GoTo Opener to launch you into active sessions. Previously you needed two apps to start a session: GoToMyPC Launcher and the Web Deployment plug-in.
GoToMyPC Launcher and GoTo Opener Launcher The GoToOpener app replaces the legacy versions of the 'helper' application labeled as GoTo Opener Launcher or GoToMyPC Launcher. If you see the legacy versions of GoToOpener on your computer, that means that you've previously joined or started a remote connection using the GoToMyPC desktop app.
Web Deployment Plugin - The Web Deployment Plugin was installed when you first connected remotely using the GoToMyPC desktop app and used the legacy 'helper' application. GoTo Opener no longer requires the use of the Web Deployment Plugin.
Important: When you start or join your nextconnection, the 'helper' app automatically updates to the GoTo Opener app and will uninstall the Web Deployment plugin.
Update to the GoTo Opener now (recommended)
Normally, this application is installed or updated automatically when you join or start sessions using your GoTo products. However, you can easily update to the GoTo Opener by downloading it.

You can easily uninstall the Launcher app manually if you prefer. The uninstallation process varies depending on the operating system you are using. See the user manual of your operating system for more information.
