What are libclamav.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library libclamav.dll Errors

libclamav.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like libclamav.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like ClamTray.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. ClamWin) could share the same libclamav.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 libclamav.dll is attempted to be loaded either when ClamWin is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common libclamav.dll errors include:

Your libclamav.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with ClamWin), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, libclamav.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading ClamWin, system crash while loading libclamav.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.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying libclamav.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Open Source typically does not release ClamWin DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing libclamav.dll and all other DLL files for ClamWin. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
