vhook_specialeffect.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like vhook_specialeffect.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like avc.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate) could share the same vhook_specialeffect.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when vhook_specialeffect.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common vhook_specialeffect.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - vhook_specialeffect.dll.
- vhook_specialeffect.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Xilisoft\Video Converter Ultimate\vhook_specialeffect.dll.

Your vhook_specialeffect.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate), or deleted by a malware infection.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
