ultravnc shows up with STARFISH tray icon ..?

[zaccy]

I do not think everything is fine with that. Virus, rootkit, registry fault?
Tried everything: restart winvnc. restart service. reinstalled whole prog.
rootkit search. virus scan. At last, uninstalled and installed newer version - this strange, unknown, gray starfish tray icon returned. ( "magnifying glass" tray-icon when client is at the other end of the cable)

Where does it (probably) come from?

Have you cleared the icon cache? With any luck that's all it is.

Still XP running here, but worked similar; ... and did not help.

Yeah, it's basically the same in XP.

And you rebooted too? I don't know.

You're saying it starts as a "starfish" and then someone is able to connect and it turns into a "magnifying glass"?

I'm thinking maybe registry weirdness? After uninstalling, make sure all those various ORL hives are deleted.

.. it starts as a "starfish" and then someone is able to connect and it turns into a "magnifying glass"?"

Y. Restricted by Windows firewall to LAN, but who believes ..

Now, some reboots later, ALL ORL hives removed (what-in-hell does "ORL" stand for? hello developers: why ain't they AND THE OTHERS removed by "uninstall"??? HEY?), all "WinVNC" "UltraVNC" entries and (oops: did I remove all "uvnc"?) anything what else I could find ..: The "gray starfish tray icon" returned on re-installation.

OOPS: the "iconcache.db" file did not re-appear!? Should it, in XPSP3?

I am not amused, i.o.w. distrustful. Hi "NSA", how are you .. (Oh, BTW, U NO the name of their hive?)

Who 's got another idea?
