Help needed fast with remote desktop

Hello everyone and happy new year

I have found myself short on time as I should've done this research days ago.

I need recommendation for a good software for remote desktop to access the computer remotely. I will be gone for several months and my parents have extremely limited computer knowledge. I'd like to be able to connect in via remote desktop and help them in case they need to print something, sign up for a service, etc.

Computer runs Windows 7 x64.

Any good recommendations for remote desktop programs, hopefully that are simple to connect and secure? I have my own router at home, a E1000 linksys using DD-WRT so I can do the port forwarding if necessary.

Just for the record, TeamViewer (but not only specifically TeamViewer, all "remote control" software) may represent  an easy way to access the remote PC by you or by *any* hacker, so besides configuring it as securely as possible:

do NOT leave it running 24/7, have when needed the session initiated by your parents and closed after you did whatever you need to do.

(only my two cents)
