Guys, stop thinking a dll is as safe as a txt...
A dll file is a code compiled exactly the same way as an exe file is. But as it is a dynamic library, it is not self-executable as an exe is, but it can be loaded and executed by an exe file.
So the .exe can be virus/trojan/keylogger free, but it can load the dll. And if this dll is a virus/trojan/keylogger, too late
In this case, I don't think there is a risk. The dll is just a resource the exe embeds in itself, and it exctracts when needed, and then load it.
Hope I made it more clear in you mind
