2 instances of osxvnc-server process?

Vine
1

Good morning,
I connect to my Mac from a Windows machine (using TightVNC viewer) over the 'net using SSH tunneling.

I saw some strange activity and noticed when I have Vine Server running, there’s two “OSXvnc-server” processes running. When I close Vine Server from the dock, only one process goes away. If I try to close the other one, it keeps restarting with a new PID. Is this normal?

I scanned my machine for malware, wondering if I had a trojan that keeps starting the vine server (thereby keeping a door open), but MacScan couldn’t find anything.

I’m relatively new to Mac (8 months), so I’m still getting my feet wet.

Thanks!

Check in the application to see if you have a “System Server” configured. These servers start when the machine boots up and stay running separate from any user process.
