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.
