    Cyberia: what is unacceptable are reviews by people who have no clue about what they talk about. VNC is a remote administration software. Of course it is reported as such by your anti-spyware software! If you didn't install this application yourself, and your anti-spyware reported it, of course you'd want to remove it. But if you downloa it because you know what it does and it meets your requirements, why would you bash it because some software identifies it correctly as what is exactly is, and since you downloaded it, what you downloaded it for!
    I give this one a 4 only because I prefer UltraVNC much better.

    Hi, I use VNC all the time at work and home. It is an excellent package - really useful for administering PCs remotely, where often remote desktop will not work.

    It's hassle-free for work environments as it is free for commercial use. In addition the connection can be made as secure as you like by tunneling the connection through a ssh session - covered simply here.

    Overall an excellent product - and it's free too!!

    Good features. There are better.

    This from MS AntiSpyware:
    NS Keylogger Personsal Monitor Key Logger more information...
    Details: NS Keylogger Personal Monitor records everything that is entered from the keyboard, to a log file.
    Status: Quarantined
    Moderate threat - Moderate threats may profile users online habits or broadcast data back to a server with 'opt-out' permission. In most cases this type of threat is more along the lines of commercial type adware that offer a premium service in exchange for tracking your user online performance.

    Infected files detected
    c:\program files\realvnc\vnc4\unins000.exe

    This is unacceptable

    Bottom line: Enterprise Edition 4.1.3 works as advertised. Tunnel under SSH for best results. Good stuff produced by people in the know.
