Remote Control Software?

Hi!
I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some sort of remote desktop control software that is easy to set up and use?

My dad is a little bit useless when it comes to anything too technical with his computer and now lives 2 hours away, so I can't just pop in and fix it, and I can't always explain everything over the phone. So I'd love to be able to just tap into his computer and sort it for him.

Thanks in advance,
Rod
