The path you describe is the Windows XP System Retore directory, which stores an archive of older contents of your hard drive so that things can be restored to a working state if they become broken. Turning it off and back on again will have wiped the restore data, hence the error going away. VNC can be installed by anyone with Administrator rights. That includes you yourself deliberately installing it, you opening a web link with an exe or script in it, you reading an email with an atachment and/or html in it, someone else hacking into your machine to install it.
