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. |

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both. And be one traveler, long I stood. And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay. In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." -- Robert Frost: Road Not Taken (1962) |
