Jane, It sounds like you're running an anti-virus program on the computer that has mis-detected vncviewer.exe as viral and removed it. This seems to be surprisingly common, even amongst the reputable AV software products. Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL

Sumanth, Please make sure you're running the latest VNC Free Edition release (or the latest VNC Enterprise or Personal Edition if you prefer!) on your server. This addresses a security issue in versions 4.1 & 4.1.1 that could allow unauthorised remote access to the server. Regards, Wez @ RealVNC
