That would be moving beyond mere BLODA and into malware territory. At 
that point, just because it's in %SystemRoot% doesn't mean it's safe, 
either. In fact, we can't really even be sure a well-known dll name in 
%SystemRoot% is safe if the machine is infected with something.

I don't think we're trying to play virus scanner here, so dll name 
should suffice.
