in Microsoft Antispyware and TightVNC — Elliott C. Back on Elliott Back's Blog
Yes - I also agree. I'm running UltraVNC server. Not only does MS Defender go crazy so do AdAware and Spybot and SpySweeper.

My problems go one level deeper. The combination of Norton AV / Defender / AdAware / Spybot / SpySweeper - which all run in auto mode in the wee hours each Sunday (Monday a.m. actually)... they all, quite literally, REMOVE my UltraVNC server... and kill the program and its folder contents.

I have to remember to re-install the program every time right before I leave my office. I have a static IP and the appropriate 5500, 5800, and 5900 ports forwared in my LinkSys router.

I'm so darn good at reinstalling WinVNC that it only takes a minute - but sometimes I forget and then I have no remote access. So I've reloaded an old copy of Symantec pcAnywhere (which doesn't alert the scanners) and I now use THAT to gain temp access - and remotely re-install my precious WinVNC.

Anybody else seen anything this crazy? Please email me directly at billtrail @ gmail.com. Thanks.
