After the virus signature database update on 25th April NOD32 started to detect TightVNC (usually at c:\Program Files\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe) and an associated .dll as a threat.

By way of a solution disable 'Potentially Dangerous Applications' in the NOD32 Control Center under AMON > Setup > Options

If you're on a domain and you can log onto a machine as administrator, here's how to quickly update each PC.

Update one machine and export the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Eset\Nod\CurrentVersion\Modules\Update\Settings\Config000\Settings]

key, and edit and delete all except the un/pw (example below)

Download Psexec from Sysinternals.

then go to the cmd line and type.

psexec -d -s \\thepc c:\windows\regedit.exe -s \\server\public\av.reg

where:-

• \\thepc is the PC you want to update
• \\server\public\av.reg is the export of the configured machines un/pw combo. (but it could be the whole registry key is wished)

The advantage to this is when onsite and people are logged in as users you have to log them off and log on as an admin to update, this bypasses all this and they don't even get interupted.
