ZA (actually MailFrontier Desktop application) Spam blocker, but does indeed monitor keystrokes for some odd reason. If you are using ZA, it can be disabled by disabling Junk Email Filter in ZA.

I never had it running on my computer untill I did something stupid and got my computer infected. Shortly after that showed up something else called eakviojn.exe showed up shortly after Beware. It is NOT part of zone alarm. That so many seem to link it ot ZA I think it might be something that tries to use ZA or attacks it

Es ist definitiv eine Datei von Zone Alarm und gehört zum email Schutz. Wenn der ausgeschaltet wird ist auch der Prozess aus dem Taskmanager verschwunden.

mantispm.exe is the email protection for ZA and can be seen (and stopped) in Task Manager. If a program is being flagged by ZA then it may well be 'mantisp_a_m.exe' which is a worm mailer. See link for more info

Part of ZA
   

This is part of ZoneAlarm's MailFrontier. It is not malicious is any way. If you uninstall Mail frontier you will also get an error about said :"mantispm.exe" not able to open. Mantispm stands for M=Mail Anti=Anti spm=Spam. NOW what some people may be doing is making a trojan horses .exe file save as mailantispm.exe to trick you. simply deny it access. Aslong as your a person that doesnt use Microsft Outlook for emailing you will be fine without it.

Five users consider this dangerous and a bunch say it flags itself? Come on guys, this is part of ZoneAlarm Internet Security. Zonealarm will flag parts of itself if you told it to notify you of changed programs~~that's what it is supposed to do. Whether it's needed or not depends on whether you want it to filter your email for SPAM or not.

It's not dangerous, unless it has another process attached to it. It's normally a process from Zone Alarm (mantispm=mail anti spam, hello?) It doesn't send any PIN numbers, personal info or anything.

Zone alarm pro - regular doesn't use this

This file is part of MailFrontier. If it loads at startup it can cause computer to start up really slow! Disable it at desktop so your start can run faster.
   

ZoneAlarm Tech. support dixit: Mantispm.exe is our junkmail filter. Some times it gets updated and changes how it works and it will require access to get further updates. It does the monitor to verify active program or if it should go idle. If you want to disable the junkmail filter open up ZoneAlarm and click on email protection. Put a dot in off for junkmail filter.

below is answer of zone alarm technical support when asked what is it, why does it need internet access and why does it need to track activity. Thank you for contacting Zone Labs Technical Service.

Slows down my Outlook - puts mail in a folder that has a filter on it for flagged items only and doesn't flag any of the items. Keeps popping up the toolbar in the middle of the screen. Came with update to ZoneAlarm without warning and can't turn it off.
