Editorial Review of Hook Explorer

Hook Explorer can tell you if a file has hidden itself behind legitimate programs, sometimes fooling firewall software. A file hooked into the Windows program winlogon.exe, for example, could record your keystrokes as you type your system password, and if you tried to kill the winlogon program, you'd crash your system. HookExplorer detects IAT and detours style hooks, and it allows the user to whitelist items known to be safe.
