Are you looking for open source or just inexpensive/free?  

I use UltraVNC SingleClick to provide remote support to my clients when they 
don't already have something else available:

Single Click - UltraVNC

VNC is OSS.

  Don't forget, those items are more a service than software.  Remote
control can be got with Remote Desktop, VNC, even PCanywhere.  The
thing those services provide is a server out on the network.  Both
ends connect to the server, and the server acts as an intermediary.
This avoids the need for inbound firewall configuration, which most
consumer lusers find difficult.  So since we're talking about
services, Open Source doesn't solve as many problems as it would on
something you host yourself.

  Right, Remote Assistance doesn't kick the user off.  The user gets a
little floating control panel bar with buttons to disconnect, yield
control to remote, etc.  The remote operator can look but not touch
until the user clicks the appropriate button.  Invitations can go via
email.  It will work over a VPN without special outside connectivity
(that's how we use it), i.e., no third-party server involved.

  I don't know if/how/how-well it will traverse a firewall or NAT, though.
