Ultr@VNC is available for free download and is free to use. You can download the source code if you want, but that’s not necessary.
Just like RealVNC and the other VNC programs, Ultr@VNC has two components: the server which allows the computer to be accessed from other computers, and the client, which runs on the computer that wants to access the server. By default, both are installed on each computer, although that’s an option in the installation process.
Ultr@VNC is available in an installer package for Windows 32-bit and for Windows 64-bit. There are also download packages available that have "bins" in their name. These are the individual binary files (not source files) including a .reg file of the entries for the Windows Registry.
For some reason, starting in the last couple days, the Ultr@VNC web site (www.uvnc.com) is getting flagged by Sunbelt’s VIPRE Antivirus Premium as a malicious web site. VIPRE’s firewall is blocking access to it. However, interestingly enough, VIPRE Antivirus Premium will scan the Ultr@VNC files without complaint — even when I specifically scan the Ultr@VNC folder.
I think Sunbelt’s still having some startup problems with their identification of malicious web sites. Last weekend, it was the Aweber.com web site. I contacted Aweber (who is the mailing list company for my newsletters), who contacted Sunbelt. That got the problem solved. Now, it’s the Ultr@VNC site.
The original VIPRE used to complain about RealVNC, since it’s a remote-control program. However, in this case, VIPRE isn’t complaining about the remote-control program, it’s the VIPRE firewall that’s blocking access to the Ultr@VNC site.
I changed VIPRE Antivirus Premium’s settings to allow me to access the site anyway. VIPRE had no complaints when I visited it or with the programs I downloaded. I scanned the directory alone and then did a full scan with VIPRE Antivirus Premium. I think Sunbelt’s reporting a "false positive." [Update - Sunbelt fixed the false reporting in the subsequent definitions update.]
