What is happening is that the virus checker is matching the WinVNC.exe
executable against a heuristic for the types of program that are likely to
be backdoor viruses.  This means that it thinks the executable contains a
backdoor-type virus, even though it doesn't.

The quick-fix is to disable heuristic virus detection.  A better fix is to
tell McAfee, so they can update their heuristic.
