Yes, just download a firewall like zone-alarm (or ics does it in win98se if
you don't open up the port) and make sure that access to port 5800 is
closed, this will disable the java server, now if you want to disable the
vncviewer as well, you need to disable port 5900.

Is there a setting to make sure that browser access to a VNC server via the
internet is blocked?
Thanks,
