David,

The situation as it stands is that the original poster's system has a
problem where a program on it periodically downloads data from somewhere on
the Internet and then goes around deleting files from his system without
telling him.  To me, that sounds awfully like a virus.

Personally, I'd be pretty annoyed if software I'd paid good money for
started deleting my other programs.  I'd be annoyed, for example, if it
removed Internet Explorer or Windows File Sharing, but it seems that in
spite of those being two of the most common sources of security problems in
Windows systems, no anti-virus software can even detect them!  ;)

On a serious note, we're in contact with several "anti-spyware" vendors at
present, to help them address problems with their products giving misleading
or erroneous information regarding VNC.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
