Hi..
Since I recently tried doing some hooks in Windows i'll add my 2ct.

Actually the kb-article makes it clear that global hooks are generally
unsupported in .net - the article is about how to work around that (by
using P/Invoke).

No. This would leave the hook in the chain and the pointer to the
hook-proc pointing somewhere - probably some already re-used space.
This will leave your Windows in a rather inconsistent state. (After
unhooking you'll still have to free/delete your used memory...)
