Disclaimer: I know very little of the details of the WinVNC screen
acquisition code. But my understanding is that VNCHooks.dll actually
gets injected into running applications in order to allow WinVNC
to intercept screen updates; maybe it takes some time for those
applications to realize that WinVNC has stopped and unload the
DLL? Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
