Currently I've found the most secure (and free) solution for Windows
is Ultra@VNC.  Like other tools, if you have appropriate access, you
can push/install it to a client other free utilities.

<http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net>

The FastPush script for VNC-variants works wonders for scripting
remote installations.
