With its simple setup, user-friendly interface, and multiple security options, Timbuktu Pro for Windows is the remote control software of choice for your home, classroom, or small business.

Timbuktu Pro lets you:

• view the screen of a remote desktop or share your screen with remote computers to collaborate, teach, or provide technical support
• operate distant computers as if you were sitting right in front of them
• send large files without tying up e-mail
• communicate by intercom, text chat, instant message - or now through the popular Skype™ program!

Announcement: A new version of Timbuktu Pro has been released which includes enhancements designed to address certain security vulnerabilities in Timbuktu Pro. This new version, Timbuktu Pro version 8.6.8, is no longer vulnerable to two security vulnerabilities which may allow an attacker to read a Timbuktu Pro user's Windows access credentials (user name, password, and Windows domain) if the user enters them in the "second chance" dialog box, which appears when Timbuktu Pro's automatic authentication of a Windows NT User fails.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of Timbuktu Pro at your earliest convenience.
