liblzo2-2.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like liblzo2-2.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. Steganos Online Shield VPN) could share the same liblzo2-2.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 liblzo2-2.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Steganos Online Shield VPN is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common liblzo2-2.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - liblzo2-2.dll.
- liblzo2-2.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Steganos Online Shield\openvpn\liblzo2-2.dll.

- This application failed to start because liblzo2-2.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your liblzo2-2.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Steganos Online Shield VPN), or deleted by a malware infection.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
