[CS-FSLUG] TightVNC as botware?

[Ed Hurst]

One of my clients had TightVNC installed on her XP box, and had no idea 
what it was or how it got there. I didn't trace the IP to which it 
connected, just uninstalled it. I noticed updates were also turned off, 
something which also puzzled her. As soon as I turned it back on, we got 
SP3.

I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of TightVNC as a means to 
remote control for nefarious reasons.
