Keyhook problem

I also have this particular Keyhook.exe in my harddrive and my spyware and
Virus checker do not recognise it as a problem file. It shows a small red
icon like a spider next to it. My problem is that every so often my computer
shuts down completely with no warning. In the C directory there is a Notepad
message called Keyhook and when I open it the following message reads:-
-----------------
DestroyWindow

FreeDirectInput
-----------------
I have to reboot the computer twice to get it back to normal, as first
reboot stops just before the Welcome Screen apppears and I then have to
reboot again.

If anybody can help it would be most appreciated and anything technical I
cannot understand.

Well I had a problem with one of my hard drives not showing up the other day
and I was trying to re-install the drivers like it suggested and nothing. I
came across this application called keyhook in my system folder and its
labeled as an application but I dont know what it is. When I checked into the
properties, under the Legal Trademarks it lists only $, for the Original
Filename its called KEYHOOK.EXE. The Product name says its SIS (R) Compatible
Super VGA keyboard daemon. Im not sure if this is right but it doesnt look
right to me. Anyone with some advice on what to do, I tried to delete it but
cant because "the specified file is being used by Windows.
