Should I be concerned about this?

[robertpratt]

I found this alert in my firewall logs. Help me understand this. I use Open Office.org 2.0, Mozilla Thunderbird and AVG antivirus.

C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\soffice.bin has loaded C:\WINDOWS\system32\browseui.dll into the Parent application C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe using a global hook which could be used by keyloggers to steal private information.

I googled the above and found nothing.

Thanks for your help.

I think, but not 100% certain on this, that this is one of the ways that Open Office integrates into the explorer shell.
