Tim, vncviewer.exe is the VNC Viewer for Windows. It's not required for the server to operate.
Note that the file is NOT called "viewer.exe", it's "vncviewer.exe", so if you deleted something called viewer.exe then that may have been a fake VNC server placed their by a virus/trojan/root-kit, which might explain the AV detection. Our Windows binaries are signed, so you can check the signatures if you're feeling paranoid.
