I'm using a DLL for hooking keyboard functions. In Windows Server 2000 and Windows 7 it is getting deleted.

Any ideas why it is getting deleted and how to avoid this?

This question isn't about Visual C++, and correct answers are going to include tools like sysInternals' Process Monitor. Voting to move to superuser. – Ben Voigt Jul 28 '10 at 13:31
Perhaps it looks like a security threat? Key loggers are popular for capturing confidential data. – DOK Jul 28 '10 at 13:31
Most probably,anti-virus installed is detecting it as some kind of threat !! – Mr-Right Jul 29 '10 at 16:53

Probably some virus checker thinking you have a virus. Keyboard hooks are a major security issue. Imagine entering passwords or banking info and having the keyboard hook send the info to another party.

You must have a virus checker on your machine that is doing it, most virus checkers will show you their removed threats. You might be able to configure it to not remove a certain process or a certain folder. – Romain Hippeau Jul 29 '10 at 12:43
Windows Defender may have removed it. Defender logs are in Event Viewer. – Moab Jul 29 '10 at 17:15
