Is anyone using AutoIt from http://www.hiddensoft.com? I'm would like to simulate some keyboard and mouse clicks in our SQL environment, and wonder if there is anything I should be concerned regarding downloading this freeware? Hate to bring a virus of some kind. Any suggestions?

I "think" we use it at work for some misc junk tasks, will check to see if it this exact one.

Have not seen anyone post a statement on the net about it as infected. However, I would test with 1 or 3 AntiVirus apps and setup a machine with a software firewall like ZoneAlarm to see if it is transmitting anything. If it is then install netmon and take a look at the packets to see if spyware or security risk, may be encrypted but might not as well.

This sounds like good advice. Are you currently using this software?

No but that is how I test questionable software.
