How to Remove a Tight VNC
Virtual network computing (VNC) software, such as TightVNC, allows you to access your computer from a different computer. One of the computers, the "VNC client," is used to access the other computer, the "server." The client computer can see what is happening on the server computer and can control the mouse and keyboard input of the server computer. If you would like to remove this function, all you have to do is uninstall your VNC software from either computer.
