Many thanks for apod.exe - I look forward to seeing what will come up as my screen background each day!

I have ZoneAlarm Security Suite (v6.1.744.001) on my PC. ZoneAlarm pops up a warning every day about apod.exe:

Description: Astronomy Picture of the Day was prevented from controlling the keyboard input of the process: C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServer

Why does apod.exe interact with csrss.exe?
Is apod.exe simulating keystrokes? If so, why?

Apod.exe simulates one keystroke in order to exit the screen saver mode before changing the wallpaper. I believe you leave your system running at night. When apod.exe changes the wallpaper, it first generates a single keystroke in order to make sure the screen saver is off. Of course, this is harmless to your system.

wow.
it appears gods still visit us.

According to ZoneAlarm everything is suspicious.That's why I don't use it.I get tired of closing the pop-ups from them.
