UltraVNC Updated Due to Vulnerability

For those of you that use UltraVNC for remote computer control, you should know that you need to update now. There is a critical security vulnerability in UltraVNC 1.0.1. A new version, UltraVNC 1.0.2 is now available for download.

The upgrade is painless and installs right over the top of version 1.0.1. I also tested my current version of UltraVNC SC (Single Click), which is a simple utility that you can configure and send to your family, friends, and customers to make remote connection easy. The old SC works just fine with the new version of UltraVNC.

For more information and to download the new version, see the Sourceforge UltraVNC web site.
