I'm a first-timer on this list and hope someone can help me out. Fairly recently, I began getting a WinVNC splash screen at bootup of a W2K box. I normally tell it to "cancel" but I'm not certain that it's actually doing so. I don't remember installing WinVnc on this machine, nor would I have had any reason to, and I wonder if it wasn't "fast-pushed" onto the machine through the net. There is no WinVNC icon in the task bar, there is no mention of WinVNC in the "programs" listing, and I can't find a mention of "winvnc" searching the hard drive. The only mention that comes close is "VNCHooks.dll" which resides in C:\WINNT\Fonts. I can't find any mention of WinVNC in the "add-remove" programs, either.
So, how do I remove this thing? My concern is that it may have been sent my way as a form of malicious activity, although I really can't tell that anything along those lines has happened. ZoneAlarm has noted it trying to make contact to the net (to an address I am unable to reach), but I hopefully have that activity stopped with ZA. Previous internet access was a Direcway one-way system with terrestial uplink. No real firewall on the machine at that time. Now connected to wireless via a Router w/ NAT translation, and also using ZoneAlarm. I'm trying to get my security up to snuff, and would like to remove this program that I currrently have no use for. Thanks for any advice.
