What is madchook.dll? Should I remove it?

However, certain parasites reconfigures the operating system or installs madchook.dll as a plugin, so that the system or certain applications automatically load it on startup.
The madchook.dll file is installed and used by ICcontrol.
You have to delete the madchook.dll file immediately after you have found it.

In some cases a presence of madchook.dll does not mean that your system is infected. The file may actually belong to some fully legitimate applications and therefore must stay intact. If you are in doubt, please scan the madchook.dll file using you regular spyware remover or antivirus program.
