Clients who use the McAfee virus scanning software have reported warnings from the software concerning VNC. These are 'false positives' and are the result of a problem with McAfee's latest version of their virus scanning engine.

We have prepared a short document in our SAL HelpDesk which will explain the problem and the fixes available. Please see the document VNC and McAfee Virus Scan (Engine 4120) for full details.

A special "Thank You" to Linda Fleming from Indiana University of Pennsylvania for bringing the problem to our attention and working with us to identify the issues.
