False positive affecting Trend Antivirus and VNC

Shortly after midnight a definition update was released (599) that flagged C:\PROGRAM FILES\REALVNC\VNC4\WINVNC4.EXE as Troj_Generic.

The false positive was fixed by update 601 pushed out at 02:43am.

Thankfully, no damage was done (apart from Trend filling my inbox with 391 alarm-bell emails, and my Trend Console logs with close to 1500 virus alarms).  Trend was unable to delete WINVNC4.EXE - if the programme had succeeded in deleting the file I would have been real grumpy.
