John, VNC Server has a "logmessages.dll" as a standard part of the installation, which is obviously not a virus. The standard logmessages.dll is 2Kb in size, so a trivial check is to verify that the one on your system is 2Kb rather than 12Kb as stated in the article. If it's 12Kb then this may indicate that the standard logmessages.dll has been replaced by some sort of malware.
