What are Recognizer.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library Recognizer.dll Errors

Recognizer.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Recognizer.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. Comodo Antivirus) could share the same Recognizer.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 Recognizer.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Comodo Antivirus is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Recognizer.dll errors include:

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

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the Recognizer.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Comodo Antivirus (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Comodo Antivirus software.

You can uninstall Comodo Antivirus software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"
  4. Find the entry for Comodo Antivirus 12.0.0.6914 and click "Uninstall"

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many Recognizer.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  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 Recognizer.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 Recognizer.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\COMODO\COMODO Internet Security\
    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\TechSmith\Snagit 2019\

Download Recognizer.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Recognizer.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Comodo Group typically does not release Comodo Antivirus 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 Recognizer.dll and all other DLL files for Comodo Antivirus. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
