Default Is ObjectDock Plus a Spyware???


Hi guys!

I had been using ObectDock Plus since some time. Since the time I have installed Zone Alaem Security Suite, its giving me a repeated warning that ObjectDock is trying to record Keystrokes and mouse clicks and is suspecious in nature.

Does this mean that OD records all our computer activities and sends it some where???

Chao...

Nope. You can use it freely. It monitors for your clicks on the dock which ZoneAlarm falsely flags as malicious.
