global hook

#1 Post by Vulcan500 » 05.09.2011, 17:37

I just installed FreeCommander XE 0.0.0..550 public preview. When ever I start FreeCommander, Comodo Internet Security warns me that F/C is trying to install global hook dwmapi.dll. I never got this warning with the older version I was using. I would like to know what this is and if it's safe to let it install? I am using the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

My system already has a dwmapi.dll in the System32 folder. I'm not sure why F/C wants to install it again.
