Remote Desktop / Over-the-internet PC Connection Question

[EchoedTruth]

Hey all, need some help here.

Long story short:

My cousin's laptop is malware'd out the wazoo and he's clueless with PCs so I want to remote into his computer to clean it up.

He's in St. Louis and I'm in Atlanta so I need a way to get into his PC over the internet.

I'm pretty computer savvy but have never remoted into a PC before. Could anyone explain the steps I'd take?

I was guessing I'd get him to go to whatsmyip... and use that to RDC in; but I wasn't sure if whatsmyip would give his router IP or his actual PC IP. Any help here would be wondrous.

Thanks in advance! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
