Services Utility: VNC Server Service | Display Name (?): | VNC Server | | Short Name (?): | WinVNC | | Executable (?): | WinVNC.exe | | Library (?): | None. | | Depends On (?): | None. | | Supports (?): | None. | | Description (?): | None. | | OS (?): | Third party or non-default | | Startup (?): | | Default | Home | Workstation | Server | Minimal | Tweaked | Automatic | | Automatic | Manual | Manual | Automatic | Manual | Disabled | Disabled | |
Explanation (?): |
The VNC server service is used by RealVNC to receive remote connections. This is the root distribution of the virtual network computing (VNC) project, which is now called RealVNC, which allows you to remotely control a Windows, Linux or Unix computer over the Internet. There is also a forked distribution of RealVNC, known as TightVNC, that also uses this service name.
If you do not remotely control your home computer then this service should not exist. If it does then it possible that you've been hacked. If you use this service then it should be set to automatic. If you set it to manual or disabled then remote computers will not be able to use RealVNC/TightVNC to control your computer. |

"Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man' - with his mouth". --Mark Twain
