During an install of this program ZA Pro flagged up a warning about, KnlWrap
Module trying to monitor keyboard and mouse movements, thats not nice is it.

KnlWrap Module is trying to monitor your system to observe what events are
occurring.
ZoneAlarm Pro is asking you whether to allow this behavior. Your computer is
safe.

What should I do?



If KnlWrap Module needs to monitor your system to observe what events are
occurring and you trust this program, then give it permission. If you do not
trust this program or the program does not need to monitor your system then
deny it. If you are unsure, you can always deny access and run the program
again, if it is required.



Why?



KnlWrap Module is potentially malicious. It may be attempting to monitor
your system to observe what events are occurring to retrieve information
about you or your system.

That'll keep it off my hard drive!

HI:

I expect you'll hear from Steve shortly, but I can tell you right now,
that if the program is actually doing what your software says it is,
there is _no_ malicious intent. I've been working with Mssr Tuma for
quite a few years now, and I can tell you he is a stand-up guy,
interested in developing quality astronomy software.

KnlWrap is a module most commonly used by InstallShield. It is perfectly
safe. Most anyone who has installed a program distributed inside a
recent InstallShield package probably has it on their system.

What is important is that it resides in memory only during
install/uninstall/update operations. During normal operation it isn't
loaded or active.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I like to DL the demos or tryoutwares and give'm a test run to see if it's
something I can use or might want to use, but spyware or record ware is off
limits to my computer. I run some programs that do a search for anything and
kills anything it finds in that form, even tracker cookies get killed.

About 90% of my software has been either freeware or shareware with a few
try-buywares that I've paid for.

No thanks, I'll save my money and use Cartes du Ciel. Any trial software
that insists on nagging for my money isn't worth it.

Well, that's quite a separate issue from any potential security
problems.

I'm not sure why you got that warning message but I can assure you the
file is clean. After I received your email I used 3 different
antivirus and spyware software (Trend, Microsoft AntiSpyware, and
System Mechanic Spyathon) on it just to be sure and that file is
clean. I am not sure why zone alarm flagged it.
