Why do you need to use some services which are closed source? They may be spyware / adware based.
A simple solution is to use TightVNC for your PC at home. It is available under GPL and open source. Once you are running the VNC server, you can connect to the PC from anywhere in the world either using VNC client or even just a browser.
In addition, if your home PC is running WinXP professional, you already have remote desktop installed as part of the OS.
