chmatthew...... I love this quote ........""The VNC binaries we distributed are virus-checked before release, and are also signed on platforms that support signed binaries. VNC does not include nor install adware nor spyware of any kind.

The most likely cause of VNC being detected as a virus, adware or spyware is that your computer has become infected with a virus that attaches itself to existing files. Once you have used your virus checker to clean up your machine, you should be ABLE to download and re-install VNC without further problems.

Some virus checkers do, however, wrongly report that VNC is a virus. In most cases this is caused by "heuristic" virus detection methods, while in others the virus checker's database is simply wrong! " ......
....LOL.... It reminds me of a commercial put out by a drug company promoting their product.........You know the drill , our product will do whatever .........but the user may experience some of the following side effects.........and anyone suffering from......bla bla bla ......should refrain from using these products.........( Thats called covering your *censored* ) ......

In any event , as you point out... its up to the user to decide what he or she uses or doens't use ........that's the users choice . On this point we are in complete agreement .....

I also hope that the visitors to this great site take the time to read these posts ...because even if the posts appear to be slanted one way or the other it may stir a desire in them to do a little more checking and as a result become more informed ......

Until the next time .......
Have a good one ,

I agree that hopefully users will decide for themsevles after perhaps being either enlightened or thought-provoked.

RE: VNC disclaimer: it's far shorter than any MS disclaimer about how they are not responsible for DAMAGE done by their software to your hardware or other systems. but I think that's pretty standard practice in the industry so no need to continue debating.

All in all -- great discussion...we'll try to HELP people and we'll see what comes of this adware/spwyare mess. 'Till next time -- take care.....
