It's not an update, it's a piece of software, downloadable from Microsoft. It would be interesting to know which platforms people have had similar problems on. Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. -Original Message- From: Jim Bohnsack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 August 2005 14:30

In that Microsoft pushes it out in the Microsoft Automatic Updates that they push out. Yes, it's optional, but it's one of these things that they push it out as if it were one of the regular Windows updates and I read in one of the auto-updates that they are going to be pushing out a new version

John, I think you're thinking of the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool update, rather than Microsoft AntiSpyware (formerly Giant AntiSpyware). I'd be very surprised if the tool update were removing or in some way incapacitating legitimate applications, since that could land Microsoft in

Roger, There is no such version of the RFB protocol as 3.130, so the server you are connecting to is not a VNC server, which probably explains why the viewer appears to hang when you connect to it. I'd recommend installing the standard VNC server on the problem machine instead. Regards, Wez @
