I am developing a project which needs to unhook some API messages from other processes.

I know that it is possible to do this task because this option exists in PC Hunter software.

I need to unhook these APIs through my application.

I've already searched about this subject and nothing useful was found.

Can someone help me with this?

Those hooks are typically set and handled via:
SetWindowsHookEx

This blog covers how to enumerate into the hook info and potentially see any installed hooks:

Here is another useful old source showing how to enumerate hooks:

Original site is dead but web archive has it still.

I discovered in a question in StackOverflow, that is possible to hook CallNextHook api to obtain the id of hook, and so unhook with UnhookWindowsHookEx api.

See, search in Google like this:

Possible to disable a hook made with SetWindowsHookEx run-time?

With the info I provided above you will have access to the information used with SetWindowsHookEx to be able to unset a hook. The handle, function pointer, etc. are all available after walking into the right data.
