Absolutely love this app. but do think its dangerous. Questions that I still have not answered is, Why does it record keyboard inputs? This worries me. Recently I had my pc infected & was only able to clean it after unistalling ADC, the mouse hook dll seemed to create or was somehow responsible. This is all my opinion & I admit that I am no expert.

I am also concerned it's recording keystokes, not sure why it would have to do that.

Active Desktop Calendar CAN be used without activating mousehook.dll You won't be able to click on Desktop components to access the calendar background stuff, but you can still get to it by right clicking on the tray icon.
