Riskware.Winvnc

I have used this program for years and today, Malwarebytes flagged it as malware and quarantined it when I tried to use the program (vncviewer.exe).  This is the UltraVNC variety. Kaspersky says it is okay (uploaded to their online test) and Eset (installed) says it is fine.

BTW, I have used Malwarebytes for years as well.  All I can figure is that some database update flagged it?  It worked yesterday.

Hi Grk,

Thank you for reporting. This is indeed a false positive & will be fixed next database update. ( v2016.09.21.02 )

Database has been updated. Please update & try the scan again. It should be clear this round.
