May be due to ads or the function isKeyDown().

This is a hook that XWidget puts in system, I've an active firewall running and through all my observations, XWidget doesn't transfer any such data. It's definitely not a kind of trojan.

And don't trust ADH system of Norton.
Once in my school days I was writing a program that loaded a dll, and called a function that pops up a message box, so simple code... and believe me the ADH system sounded an antivirus alarm and being in school... you know, I had a hard time to explain...
