Question:

Why are WinVNC and other remote tools identified as viruses?

Response:

The files are identified by a new module of the Kaspersky engine. This engine also scans and identifies security-related tools. This includes WinVNC as it allows a computer to be remotely controlled and manipulated. You should define the indicated files as Monitor exceptions (without specifying the directory) or disable the dialler protection in the Monitor settings.
