Marketplace Service

The CrossLoop Marketplace was a place where people could get remote IT support 24 hours a day from a global network of experts through secure screen sharing technology. Individuals and businesses could get assistance with computers, mobile devices, peripherals, software and training.

On January 31, 2014, this service was shut down by AVG Technologies.

Technology

UltraVNC (formerly used TightVNC) on Windows[2] and Chicken of the VNC on a Macintosh[3] is used to establish a connection between computers, and a separate application to handle the billing of services between the two endpoints. CrossLoop encrypts the data sent across the computers. Data is encrypted using a 128-bit Blowfish encryption algorithm. The service might work even if one or both of the computers are behind a firewall.
