Hi guys, I just had that experience. However, I have Zone Alarm
installed so when the intruder tried to download the trojan file, my
Zone Alarm blocked it. Still, the intruder caused certain programs not
to function correctly but I could just re install them. I signed up
for a mail list in VNC, the annoucer mail list. I hope this is the
mail list for announcing new updates.
