Start Up Mystery Item by mwe99 on 11-22-2005 at 01:57 AM

right in my start up there is something called

SiS Windows KeyHook in
C:\Windows\system32\keyhook.exe

is that supposed to be there or should i disable it from starting up when my PC logs on?

http://pcpitstop.com/spycheck/SWDetail.asp?fn=keyhook.exe

Vendor contains:    Silicon Integrated Systems
Product contains:    SIS Super VGA keyboard daemon

Recommendation

Usually should not be disabled. See below for more information.
To get control over your running programs we suggest WinTasks 5 Pro
Purpose

Keyhook.exe is used to allow multimedia keys on Acer multimedia keyboards to function correctly. If you stop this process all of the 'normal' keys on the keyboard should still function, but the multimedia keys will not. Only stop this process if it is causing instability to your system.
