I got it from one of several Mechwarrior 3 trainers I tried, (most likely the ones that didn't work!).
Don't download trainers from Russia, lesson learned. :/

it's commonly used by Trainer Maker Kit and several other similar suites to provide quick and dirty hotkey support for their products. In trainers it allows you hot key access to trainer features without flipping screens. delete it and you lose hotkeys. can also be used malicously. if you only show h@tkeysH@@k.dll and hotkey.dat you probably have a legitimate use version. suggestion: scan system anyway if you find it, but don't delete the dll if you need the hotkey support

free virus scans don't pick up as many viruses

I've tested the McAfee VirusScan
the Norton's virus scan

and AVG anti virus

all of these virus scans were up to date

then I downloaded 10 viruses from kazaa

McAfee picked up 10 out of 10 viruses
Norton picked up 6 out of 10

and AVG had a horrible 2 out of 10

if no one here believes me, then they should try it on the screen savers and then they'll know the truth about the virus scans

nortons system works

mcafee virus scan professional

AVG antivirus free addition

PS the paid version of the AVG antivirus got the same results as the free version
