Quicken Launcher Monitors keystrokes and mouse movements

When starting Quicken (2005 Premier R3), my firewall, ZoneAlarm (ver.



6.0.631.003), complains that "Quicken Launcher is trying to monitor your mouse movements and keyboard strokes". ZoneAlarm classifies this as a "Dangerous Benavior". On the one hand, I guess I would expect Quicken to know that I've typed something. On the other hand, ZoneAlarm does not complain that any other programs are monitoring keytrokes. Is this a problem, or should I just tell ZoneAlarm "Nevermind ..." ?

Thanks in advance

There are apparently a number of messages over in the Zonealarm forum at

about this. Apparently ZA 6 is being way too sensitive and kicking out this warning for a number of good programs.

Intuit is definitely trying to steal your personal information. They intend to feed it first to credit thieves, then to international terrorists. Stay tuned for further news.

I hope you are not driving tonight, John. But I guess this is one way to obscure the basic question.

I doubt it's really him. Another post entered behind one of mine is just as childish. I don't think it's the 'real' John Pollard. Not his writing style.

Y'know, I was thinking the same thing. Either that, or John's having a

*really* bad night!

It definitely seems to be a ZoneAlarm issue not a Quicken problem. (whew ...)

Over at

the indications are that ZoneAlarm can be trained to not complain about certain programs. So it looks like a non-problem for now.

Thanks for the quick response.
