Quite often, now, Zone Alarm pro is stopping Messenger from monitering my Mouse movements and keyboard strokes. Look!

What I want to know is what legitamate reason could Messenger possibly have for monitering my keyboard and mouse movements when I\'m not even using it?

You might want to run a virus scan and install MSN Messenger instead. I had simillar problems with windows messenger a while ago. Virus scan revealed there was a virus with the same file name as windows messenger. You might be having the same problem.

I can\'t say about when you\'re not using it, but maybe the software uses a sort of keyboard detection to know when you\'re typing something, so that it can send to whoever you\'re chatting to the little message: \"Samsara is typing something.\"

I never use Messenger, if I can help it.

Unless you uninstall it... :P I mean, if I know I won\'t use it, I just get it off my computer.
