Anytime this happens, my first reaction would be to unplug the network
cable, backup my data and REFORMAT.  You can no longer guarantee the
integrity of the system.  Your box has been owned.  There have been a
lot of these messages popping up on this list recently and from the
looks of it, these people are not running the exploitable 4.1.1 version.
There may be a zero day in the works or some other exploit
(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=vnc+server+exploit&btnG=Google+Sea
rch).  Either way, I highly recommend removing public facing VNC
Servers.  Supplement with some other solution such as Hamachi or another
'VPN' solution.
