The VNC password is not sent plaintext. That's really the extend of security. All the display information is sent without any encryption. One of my ideas for a neat project is a VNC sniffer that listens passively to VNC traffic and displays it surreptitiously. If you desire security, I recommend as others have stated using SSh to tunnel VNC. I recommend PuTTY for a Windows SSH client. Neither PuTTY nor the VNC viewer has to be "installed", and both are quite small.
