Hello,
We are experiencing problems with our virus scanner as of today we had an
update of the virus definitions Winvnc.exe is seen as a virus.
Are more people having this problem and does anyone have a solution for it,

Hi Maikel,
I just made a full scan of my system using NetShield NT 4.0.3 (Network
Associates Inc., formerly McAfee) with the virus definitions 4.0.4119 from
3rd
February 2001. No viruses were found even in WinVNC Version 3.3.3R7 which I
downloaded on 11th January 2001.
So I believe your system wa

Thanx for your reaction but with the virus definitions 4.0.4119 i didn't

I just installed the 4.0.4120 as well, but I have no virus warning
concerning VNC. It seems to me that your VNC is infected somehow...

Hi Maikel,
Like Dries Feys I installed the latest virus definitions 4120 and rescanned
my
system with the same result: NO Viruses.
Therefore again: Try to get rid of the virus (including a complete
deinstallation of VNC) and then download a clean version.
Additionally you could consult the McAf

Folks,
Why no-one checked the McAfee site before this is a bit of a mystery.
This is what it has to say about "New Backdoor":

McAfee are aware of a false alarm on the file 'WinVNC.exe' with the 4120 DAT
set. The file is falsely identified as having a 'New Backdoor Trojan'
infection when scanned with Heuristics enabled. The McAfee Virus Lab have
produced an Extra.DAT file which can act as a temporary fix to this iss
I have about 300 Servers that have the VNC product installed on them and

Thanks for your help...

I corrected the problem putting the ORL directory on the exclude list of Vshield
and renaming back WinVNC.exe.vir back to WinVnc.exe.
That was a lot of work,but worked well.

with no penalty to security? Disabling it g
At least in Win NT 4.0, U can remove the registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run\"(path to WinVNC.exe)

Do a logoff, logon.
The icon in Systray will not appear anymore.
This is good to avoid users to change passords, port numbers e etc.

Hi,
my vncserver is setup to use port 80. Connections can be done from outside
via the internet to my server.
Some people, which have access to the internet, can't connect to my server
because they are sitting behind a firewall.
What setup must they do on there firewall to connect to my server?

If you are using NT or Win9x you can use the regedit /s filename option. Create a
registry
file with the settings you want and then run regedit (or regedt32) with the /s to
import the
registry file changes.
