libmem.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like libmem.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like certutil.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. GridinSoft Anti-Malware) could share the same libmem.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 libmem.dll is attempted to be loaded either when GridinSoft Anti-Malware is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common libmem.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - libmem.dll.
- libmem.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\GridinSoft Anti-Malware\libmem.dll.
- Cannot register libmem.dll.
- Cannot start GridinSoft Anti-Malware. A required component is missing: libmem.dll. Please install GridinSoft Anti-Malware again.
- Failed to load libmem.dll.
- The application has failed to start because libmem.dll was not found.
- The file libmem.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because libmem.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your libmem.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with GridinSoft Anti-Malware), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, libmem.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading GridinSoft Anti-Malware, system crash while loading libmem.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.
