Function

• With Symantec's pcAnywhere software, users can log on to their personal or business computer from anywhere. Users can use remote access to view documents and files housed on the host computer.
  
  

Computer Requirements

• Symantec's pcAnywhere program requires Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher to function properly with a Windows operating system. Users can also run this program in conjunction with a Linux or Mac OS X operating system and an Internet browser like Firefox version 1.5 or higher or Safari version 3.1.2 or higher.
  
  

Cost

• As of August 2010, the 12.5 version of pcAnywhere was priced at $199 on the official website. Consumers can download this program directly from the Norton Symantec website.
  
  

Considerations

• Users of pcAnywhere 12.5 do not have the ability to stream audio tracks, according to a review from NotebookReview.com. This prevents users from accessing audio for streaming videos housed on the host computer.
