Well, just think of VNC like your own screen. If you leave your seat without
locking your screen while at the same time your e-banking window is left open, and if
anything is lost, I think you can't blame anybody but yourself.
For your questions, yes, if he's using normal mode, he can see whatever you
see in real time and he could even edit whatever is on your screen. But I think the
best is that you try it in a client from another PC to see it yourself. That would be
a lot clearer than a thousand words that I would have written.

Subject: RE: Can VNC act as a 'spyware'?
yes it helps. thks alot.
i do know that there's no keylogger in VNC, so my
passwords will be seen as *****. But will he know my
username?
another q's. will the viewer actually get to see wut i
do in real-time? Can he edit it in his 'viewer'
computer? Or are the features just 'look' only but no
'edit'.
If he can 'edit' & view me in realtime, then he has
'entered' into my e-banking account.
For eg.. if i leave my Yahoo mail/e-banking account
unattended and keep mywself signed in.....and he logs
in using VNC...he sees exactly what i see on my PC
right....so can he check my emails/e-banking
transactions too?
thks for ur help...
