Creation Of Non-Existent System DLL

Detects creation of specific system DLL files that are usually not present on the system (or at least not in system directories) but may be loaded by legitimate processes.

Thus, the creation of such DLLs may indicate preparation for phantom DLL hijacking attacks.
