I want to remotely administer my home pc (a win98) from college (a win xp). Basically, i need pcanywhere, but i dont want to spend the money.

Would you all recommend that i install a back orfice on my home pc? I guess i can put a password on it so only i can access it from college, right? Would that be secure enough??? I know how everybody says its a hacktool, so thats why i'm alittle skeptical...

Advice???
