Subject: Norton AntiVirus 2005 treats Radmin as a Virus ??!

no , no one install Radmin on my computer, it's a new clean box.the
radmin.exe is the client of the Radmin.

in my memory , Norton AntiVirus 2004 has mark the Radmin as potential malware
and in 2005, it was marked as Hacktool

i have googled for it ,Trend Micro also marks it a hacktool,HKTL_RADMIN.A
http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=HKTL_RADMIN.A

"This hacking tool is actually a commercial software used for network
administration.

It can control the client system and desktop. It can also monitor all
events of the target machine.

This software contains the following features: 

Control over multiple users 
File transfer 
User log on and log off 
Multilanguage support

Telnet 
It runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
