Hi

I have just found Input Director - a piece of software which allows you to control two computers with one keyboard and mouse. Seems to work great.

But when I installed it I got a popup from Ad-aware saying a new process Win32.Hooker was running and that it was malicious software.

Here is a website giving results of scans of the installer of this program - link.

Also link to it on download.com - link

So what I'm wondering is this software safe to use?

Synergy does the same thing, have used it myself and IIRC it works cross-platform too
