Hi,

I want to use a hook dll to install a global system
hook. There are currently three issues I have:

1) My dll currently has the most imaginative
file name 'hook.dll'. Will I get into trouble when
other programs are using the same dll name for
their global hook? Or is a unique directory path
sufficient?

2) Is there a chance that an antivirus program would
consider installing a global keyboard hook as keyboard
sniffing and complaining?

3) After some tests I needed to change and rebuild
my hook dll. However, BCB doesn't link it because of
[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Could not open D:\...\Hook.dll (program still 
running?)
Using a process explorer I found that two processes
still have the dll mapped, iexplorer.exe and dexplorer.exe
How can this be after my test program deinstalled the hook?

thanks for any idea,
Nick
