Remote Desktop App that Doesn't Require PC Download?

Its been the bane of my existence that a coworker of mine can remotely connect to our companies server computer without having to install anything on the computer. This is probably the only thing my galaxy note can't do that his iphone can.

So, does anyone know an app that works just like windows remote desktop connection? I need to be able to just enter the computers ip address and be able to access the computer.

The server computer deletes any extra programs installed after one day. Any ideas? CrazyRemote and programs like it require you to download software to the host computer.
 
In order to use the free Teamviewer app to remotely control a PC or Mac that PC or Mac needs to have its own Teamviewer client application installed and running. That Teamviewer client can be set up to automatically start up every time the PC or Mac boots up, so it will always be running in the background for you to remotely connect to. You only need to make a note of its ID and password before you leave (make a screen shot and send it to your phone).
 
I use Jump (vnc). Don't need anything else if on Mac but may need to download client on windows. Then enable port forwarding on router, also make a reservation internal IP in the router login page so it doesn't keep changing. Jump has built in SSH so it can be secure too.

Unfortunately can't get it with SSH over 3g as the networks block ports, but it still works without SSH.

Works with SSH over wifi though.
