1. Perhaps you meant “VNC” rather than “VCN”…? How do you know this is running?

2. It stands for Virtual Computer Network. I believe it’s part of what we used to call Open Transports. I could be wrong, but I think it’s a necessary overlay from the built-in networking of OSX to the unix kernel.
   Leave it be.

3. I don’t have it on mine. I have never heard of it. The closest thing I can find in VNC (Virtual Network Computer) but that’s not something Apple supplies.

4. Dave – do a search for “Apple VNC” on Google. That should give you all the answers you need.

5. It is part of “Remote Access” If all your ports are closed on sharing ( default) should not be a problem. It is a feature for network admins.
   On a stand alone machine there is no need for it ( I believe)
   If you are a stand alone client on a network you don’t need it. ( I believe)
   Check the Apple support page they have several articles etc. on VNC
