I would say to anyone using McAfee, that if they have a problem with it picking up VNC as a trojan, to try to updating to the latest engine, currently 4.1.60 (available from http://www.mcafeeb2b.com/naicommon/download/dats/find.asp)
As I understand it, the engine is the component that does the actual scanning, and they modify it periodically to handle false positive reports, like this, amongst other things. If you're going to update the engine, I would also make sure that you have the latest DAT, as an out of date DAT and up-to-date engine, has been known to cause extensive and infuriating problems amongst the customers I support.

We have now updated the scan engine to 4.1.60 and are now having no problems with Mcafee detecting VNC as a trojan? cheers, Brad.
