Many users claim that the system security tools installed in their Windows-based computers flag the chkdisk.dll file as a malicious program that can compromise the stability of their system and the security of the data stored in their systems. Some of these users also claim that the chkdisk.dll file is capable of automatically initializing during system startup because this malicious program is an actual executable process, disguised as a legitimate DLL (Dynamic Link Library) module, in order to trick users into allowing the chkdisk.dll file to automatically run during system startup and operate as a hidden background process during system runtime. These users state that the chkdisk.dll file is capable of creating and inserting keys and entries into the Windows System Registry upon its successful placement and activation in the Windows-based system, in which these registry keys and entries instruct the system to allow the chkdisk.dll file to automatically run during system startup. These users also claim that the chkdisk.dll file operates as a hidden background process in order to exploit system vulnerabilities like unprotected TCP/IP network ports, so it can use these ports to initiate contact with predesignated remote servers where the chkdisk.dll file is said to download more malicious applications from. This means these user reports state that the chkdisk.dll file is flagged by their system security tools as a Trojan virus.
