The clkern.dll file is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) module that is implemented into the system by the Cracklock software, which is a Windows program classified as a developer tool that was designed with a set of features for testing shareware applications and trial versions of retail applications, for fixing bugs and integrating patches into these programs, and for disabling polymorphic viruses embedded into the trial versions of certain applications, in which these polymorphic viruses have been programmed to activate once a certain number of trial days has elapsed. The clkern.dll file is deployed into the Windows-based system upon the installation of the Cracklock software, which also means the clkern.dll file is included as one of the resource libraries bundled with other component files and modules that are packaged into the installer distributions of the Cracklock application. The clkern.dll file is calso called the Cracklock Kernel library and is referenced by the Cracklock software whenever this application needs to implement its software disassembling and debugging functionalities into the Windows-based system.
