My anti-virus product has flagged Input Director as a virus / trojan / keylogger?

0

Every so often an update to an anti-virus program will suddenly see Input Director as a virus/spyware/trojan. These false positives occur because Input Director has to hook into the mouse and keyboard data streams to achieve its function and this behaviour is similar to a “keylogger” program. Usually the anti-virus vendor will fix this in a future update to their virus dictionary. If your anti-virus product flags Input Director, it is recommended that you: • Re-download Input Director from its official site and re-install it (you can safely reinstall Input Director without losing your configuration).
