Characteristics
--- Update February 20, 2003 ---It has been brought to AVERT's attention that earlier versions of VirusScan Home Edition will incorrectly identify this application as a virus rather than as a "potentially unwanted application". To resolve this issue please upgrade to the latest version of VirusScan.
--
This detection is for a "potentially unwanted application". It is not a virus or a trojan.
RemoteAnything is the server component of a popular remote control program. It runs as a service on the computer. Once the service is running, user using a client program can see the remote computer's screen. Mouse movements and keypresses are transferred to the remote computer.
This application may have been installed by your system administrator for providing support for your machine. If this is the case then the alert on this detection should be ignored.
However, this application has been used by several trojan authors and included in other trojans for malicious purposes.
Users who would like to check for the presence of this program on their system should run the command line scanner with the /PROGRAM switch. Please note that VirusScan 7 has an option, which enables users to detect this kind of program automatically.
