After i removed viewpoint it came back but i found a file in C:\Documents and Settings\bill\Local Settings\Temp\vmgrremok.exe that when i put my mouse pointer over it said "Viewpoint Installer" this program was trying to make a connection to a server when i tried to uninstall viewpoint from add/remove programs. I deleted it and viewpoint has not come back.

Zone Alarm popped up a message that it was trying to get info from the web. I just denied giving it access to the web.

Oh, thank you! You were first on the Google result when I punched in "viewmgr.exe"
I had yesterday installed AIM, which I've uninstalled today when I realized that Trillian offered an alternative.
So when I got the viewmgr.exe message from Symantec, I was suspicious and denied it access. Fortunately, I was right to be suspicious.

Does anybody knows if viewmgr.exe is related to iTunes? It looks like it started to work in the background after I installed iTunes...

Yea I have a feeling it might be related to iTunes as well. I was browsing itunes when it popped up for me in ZoneAlarm. I currently have denied it access to the web, though it seems more likely to be the new version of AIM as others have conjectured...
