What about Metasploit, which will gladly inject a RAM-only WinVNC server
and give complete remote control without "installing" WinVNC anywhere on
the hard drive?

If your Windows box gets owned by such a thing, and you end up accused
of the crimes that the attacker committed while they were in control of
your box, you can kiss your ass goodbye.

exactly 100% correct, not to mention this defense will destroy a prosecution
in front of a jury
of people that can think for themselves, and an expert witness to properly
diagram the attack vector / scenario.
