The hooklib.dll library in the Softes Windows Cleaner 2005 installation is a legitimate component of a global keyboard hook procedure which implements the usage of hotkey shortcuts in the application. However, there is something in the makeup of the .dll file that triggers two(2) antiVirus scanners to tag it a PWSteal variant.
I suppose the Windows Cleaner 2005 author can contact Symantec, for instance, about the false positive?
Oh well, I've disabled the Global hotkey feature so that I can keep the hooklib.dll off of my computer just for good measure.
