HyperCard: Audio Palette vs. GateKeeper (7/92)

Why does GateKeeper software sound an alert when I try to add a sound to a
HyperCard stack?

In HyperCard, as in other programs, sounds are saved as resources. After you record a sound the Audio Palette allows you to save the sound to a
stack, but the sound gets saved as a separate resource. This causes
GateKeeper to sound the "Red Alert" message because a resource is being
generated.

By design, GateKeeper flags resource changes and creations. It then
checks these resources against its own built-in look up table and "flags"
whatever virus "match" it finds accordingly.

Note: There is apparently a conflict between GateKeeper Aid version 1.0.1
and the Audio Palette in 2.1. If the INIT is installed and you try to save
a sound through the audio palette, the system will crash. Removal of
GateKeeper Aid or upgrading it to version 1.1 solves the problem.
