Given the fundamentally unsafe nature of crack tools and the files and components they install on the system, it is impossible to say if these pieces of software are linked to cyber criminals or not.

Therefore, such programs and the files that are associated with them should be treated with the same care that we treat malware. This is especially valid for files such as Sppextcomobjhook.dll because, even after it has been terminated by the system’s security software, this file keeps getting detected after every computer restart.
