 Spyware / Anti-virus warning for MediaMonkey
Solution
Every now and then, and anti-virus application generates a warning about MediaMonkey.  
In all cases, such warnings have been false positives, and were quickly resolved
by the Anti-virus vendor. MediaMonkey is certified by third parties such as
Download.com and Softpedia to be virus free.

Some spyware / firewall applications also generate warnings for MediaMonkey.
These can take 2 forms:

1) Warning during install / uninstall about MediaMonkey or UninstDP.exe trying
to access priveleged resources. This occurs because MediaMonkey must
communicate with Windows Explorer to Add / Remove the micro-player
to the System Tray.

2) Warning when MediaMonkey is run about MediaMonkey attempting to
monitor keystrokes. This occurs because MediaMonkey 3 supports
Global Hotkeys, and MediaMonkey must monitor keystrokes even when
it is not in focus, in order for Global Hotkeys to work.
