OK - This really sucks.
I was happily using Avast (4) and TightVNC (1.2.9) for quite some time now. I went out for about 10 days, leaving my home PC running with VNC, and routinely used to VNC into it for my personal work.
I come back, and find the "Malware found" screen staring at me. I hit no action, and it keeps complaining about something or the other (everything to do ONLY WITH TightVNC).
Because I couldn't find an easy way to put VNC in the "safe list" (as described in this and
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=21246.0 forums), I uninstalled Avast (bad user interface in another thread!)
Now -- because Avast "blocked access" to the file EVEN THOUGH I SAID TO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION, I can no longer use VNC, even though Avast is long gone and forgotten from my system. Or is it ...
I tried to remove and install VNC - no luck. Into a different directory, no luck. WinVNC.EXE (the one from the installation) is NOT ALLOWED TO BE EXECUTED. How on earth do I tell windows (save a reinstall) to IGNORE THE CRAP Avast put there?
The exact error from the command line is this:
-----------------------------------------------------------
C:\Program Files\Virtual Network Connection>WinVNC
Access is denied.
