Re: Facebook video calling trying to control the keyboard in
Most likely it is some hotkey controller. zonelarm gives that alert whenever application tries to use hotkeys, like trainers and such. not all tho.
its some specific function. it means that if you press a key and that "program" detects it as "hotkey 1" then in that program "hotkey 1 = numpad 1" so it presses "numpad 1" on your keyboard.
can't exactly explain, but thats how it works in some programs, also those programs "take over" your keyboar when active. for example very few games have done this. so when they do that and you allow, then none of the other hotkeys work anymore.
i have multimedia keyboard, with play, stop, forward, browser home...etc button. my browser home is set to bring Winamp to wrong or hide. so whenever such app takes over the keyboard, those hotkeys wont work when on fullscreen in game.
anyway i wouldn't allow such things, unless it stops working if you deny.
