Hello,

I got the vnc free version to try for a few days and then was going to purchase the 'good' version.  I find it is a really nice program except for one problem I found.  A few days after I installed it, I been noticing funny things happening. When I got home from work, icons were moved, an FTP program was up and many files have been deleted, and my DVD burner software was opened.  I thought I just made a mistake till last nite.  I was reading a web page and then the mouse moved and brought up the start menu without me doing it, then I noticed the vnc icon was black instead of white.  some one was on it.  I also looked in tht XP admin logs that vnc had several logins by other IPs, some not even in the USA.  I have set several different passwords every day that are just random 10 to 12 characters in length.  I have confirming reports from others that vnc has a back door that people go scanning for.  Does anyone have any of the same experiances.

Thank you

-Rick
