This is the hook DLL for FreeWheel, a mouse utility that I wrote many years ago. It is not harmful in any way. I did not foresee that virus scanners would block DLLs loaded from the temp directory. If the DLL stays loaded after exiting FreeWheel, that is due to Windows itself and is outside of FreeWheel's control. In fact, FreeWheel keeps track of any temp files it creates and will try to delete them the next time it is run.

Process frw1.tmp does not terminate when freewheel is exited. This program is highly suspect.

Mcafee virusscan blocked this file which was created by starting Outlook! Probably installed by freewheel mouse utility, (can be frw3.tmp or frwX.tmp too) I am not sure why, and if this is harmless.
