How to Remove Malware Dll

Removing Malware
1. Use the add/remove tool in Windows to uninstall any suspicious or malicious software. Go to the control panel and select the 'Add/Remove' folder. Uninstall the software that you think the dll problems are coming from. Malware disguises itself as something useful and sneaks in pretending to be part of the program. Sometimes simply deleting the program isn't enough. The dll files can appear to the host program as if they are shared by other programs on your computer, in this instance they will not be deleted but instead left to infect again. If the dll files were not deleted during the uninstall, they will re-install the infected program upon your next start-up. If this happens you will need to uninstall the program again and then rid your computer of the harmful dll files manually or with a registry cleaner.
2. Download or purchase a registry cleaner. Use this software to filter through all of your system folders, looking for infected dll files. There are many free registry cleaners available on the Internet; PCTools.com recommends a free product called Registry Mechanic. Not only will running a registry cleaner help to clean up malware, but it will also restore broken or corrupt dll files that belong on your PC. A registry cleaner will get rid of unused dll files and dll error messages that have nothing to do with malware. Overall, running a registry cleaner will speed up your PC and give it a better foundation.
3. Manually unregister unwanted dll files using Windows Regsvr32. Make sure you know what you are doing before attempting this fix on your own. If you delete necessary dll files, your computer could crash. To open the Command Prompt, go to 'Start' and then 'Run.' In the box, type 'cmd' to bring up the Command Prompt Box. Now you must know the file path of the dll you are trying to delete. That is, you have to know where it is on your computer. In the Command Prompt Box, type 'cd' to chance the current directory then a space, then type in your file path. A file path to a dll named random.dll in your System32 folder would look like this: C:/Windows/System32/random.dll. After entering the correct file path, press 'Enter.' Now that you are in the directory, its time to unregister the dll file. Type 'regsvr32' then a space and 'u/' then [unwated dll name] and press 'Enter.' So to unregister the random.dll it would look like this: 'regsvr32 u/[random.dll]'. A confirmation message will appear and you should be free of your frustrating dll problem.

How to Fix System32.dll

1. Run a registry cleaning program to clean and repair DLL file problems on your computer. The Windows registry cleaning utility is an example of a registry cleaning program.
2. Ensure that a Trojan virus has not installed itself in your System32 folder. Trojans disguise themselves as useful or important programs by under clever names. Many people download them under the illusion that they are something else, hence the Trojan Horse reference. Once inside your computer, it gives the Trojan operator access to private files, the ability to download other harmful malware and viruses, and a fair amount of control over your computer.
3. Get rid of a Trojan or other malware by running anti-malware security software. If you already have a security program that protects against malware, use in to scan your PC. If you do not have an anti-malware program, download or buy one. There are many free versions available on the Internet, but be careful because some of them are Trojans in disguise. CNet suggests Malwarebytes anti-malware program and describes it as effective, free and equipped with nice features. Windows also offers two types of anti-malware software for free. One available for download is the Malicious Software Removal Tool and the other is a free online scan of your PC called Windows Live Safety Scanner.
4. If other attempts to repair the errors have failed, you can restore your system to how it was before you had the System32 error. System Restore is available with Windows operating systems. Open it by clicking 'Start,' 'All Programs,' 'Accessories,' 'System Tools' and 'System Restore.' System Restore automatically saves registry points on your computer, allowing you to restore your computer to a point in time before the error. System Restore does not save any personal files and cannot help if a personal file has been damaged or deleted.
