I corrected the problem putting the ORL directory on the exclude list of Vshield
and renaming back WinVNC.exe.vir back to WinVnc.exe.
That was a lot of work,but worked well.
BTW,What about heuristics scanning? It's a valuable feature or can be disabled
with no penalty to security? Disabling it gives me a gain in performance?
