I doubt that it's SpyBot. I use that here and don't have a problem with it. Do you have any sort of antivirus software running that might mistake VNC for a worm / trojan? Hmm.. just loaded my Spybot, and what do you know.. under "ignore products" there's a checkbox for VNC. Try that. :-)

I have found something interesting. When I check services for VNC server it is set for automatic start on reboot, but it isn't running. So I manually start it, and get a message that another instance of VNC server is running, but it goes on to say the service is started. I go back and check the service and it is stopped again. I then looked in the systems event logs, and find where the service is started, and then within 10 seconds, there is another event where it shows that the vnc server service has stopped. So what is killing the service? Could it have somethig to do with spy-bot system immunization, which I selected the day prior to getting my static IP address? I could be barking up the wrong tree, given that both events ( static ISP and spy-bot immunization ) happened so close together. Thank you, Mike Minor Z-Code Systems, Inc.
