What are filterbuilder.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library filterbuilder.dll Errors

filterbuilder.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like filterbuilder.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Softerra LDAP Browser) could share the same filterbuilder.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when filterbuilder.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Softerra LDAP Browser is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common filterbuilder.dll errors include:

Your filterbuilder.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Softerra LDAP Browser), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, filterbuilder.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Softerra LDAP Browser, system crash while loading filterbuilder.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix filterbuilder.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your filterbuilder.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the filterbuilder.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your filterbuilder.dll File (Caution: Advanced)
