| eklegein | 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. Refer to the link. Hope this helps guys! See also: Link |

Not dangerous. may cause poor system performance. if you don't use the hotkeys on your keyboard regularly, i'd suggest removing it from your startup items. if you don't know how to do that, you can seriously screw your computer if you mess with those too much. |
