hook.dll is commonly used to replace a certain if not all process of a targeted dll's memory on the fly. Correct me if i'm wrong. It can be dangerous (causing unwanted crash) or not (replacing memory hex for certain procedures).

I cannot claim to know that it is indeed dangerous, but I put it in quarantine and NetZero is still working. Therefore it can't be essential to the functioning of NetZero and is safe to remove.

this file monitors keystrokes ,relays that info to remote server at startup & subsequently tells net zero what type of garbage to download to your system.May be more dangerous since exe exe clones IE then write protects malware . note:soon after i installed net zero, my ad-awere se& spybot s&d were corrupted!!! beware there are a couple more bad guys hidden in nz software
