There are many programs that use it, but for me, it is the keylogger part of "GoldenEye", a program i installed on my own pc to check if my sister had been on it or not... it works.

It is absolutely needed for the Genius Wireless Optical Mouse, without it just doesn't work properly. It would be nice if someone at Genius could verify its authenticity, or even get it digitally signed.

Correction kbhook.dll is a malware form. kbdhook.dll is associated to likes of logitech for wireless or express button functions

Assuming you have installed a wirleess keyboard or mouse, Dont worry.
   

Right. It is used e.g. by Genius Wireless Keyboard Drivers for the Hotbuttons. MS AntiSpyware false detection, XoftSpy false detection. BUT NETSPY ALSO USES A KBHOOK.DLL! anyway it differs from the one distributed with keyboard driver package

It is used by Genius Wireless Optical Office devices.

Will not cause any harm. As said abvoe, it is used for the 'Genius Wireless Keyboard'.
   

it also loaded when I installed my new Genius mouse NetScroll+ Superior with cord. When I run anti Spyware they tell me it is dangerous. When I remove it my Mouse cannot do its special features. I don't know what to do.
  Ria  

It seems that it loaded when i install de drivers for my wireless multimedia keyboard and mouse from genius
