Apple Remote Desktop 3.8

[imac abuser]

Hello I'm thinking of buying Apple Remote Desktop 3.8. I have a question will this allow me to remote in and take over my grandmothers imac at her home? I often have to explain things or provide her tech support on her PC which we use TeamViewer but i'm starting to feel that isn't secure and I'm setting her up a new iMac.

Thanks for your help

Team Viewer is the better tool for this sort of thing, particularly if your grandmother is using a Windows computer. What you'd be doing with Remote Desktop isn't but a tiny fraction of the capability and can all be duplicated with free options like Team Viewer. Security isn't a significant concern for this sort of thing.

Ok thanks so I'll keep using Team Viewer and save my 80.00 I did buy her an iMac and I'm setting her up on it tomorrow.

Jump Desktop would be great for you. It has an iOS app. Install Jump Desktop connect on your grandma's Mac, and you'll be able to connect to her computer from whenever you are. Either from your iPhone/iPad or Mac.
