I'm currently running both VNC 4 and Mcafee 8.0i.  By default the
Remote Administraton applications is turned off in virusscan.   And if
it was turned on, you could simply add VNC to the list of programs
excluded from the scan.  (Open the console, right click the 'unwanted
programs policy' and choose properties, Click the button marked
exclusions, and edit it.)

Though in there I don't even see VNC listed as a program it detects.
There is a version of VNC that shows up as a trojan.  Look on mcafee's
website for the BackDoor-ARG trojan.
