_sqlite3.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like _sqlite3.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Avant Browser) could share the same _sqlite3.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 _sqlite3.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Avant Browser is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common _sqlite3.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - _sqlite3.dll.
- _sqlite3.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Avant Browser\_sqlite3.dll.
- Cannot register _sqlite3.dll.
- Cannot start Avant Browser. A required component is missing: _sqlite3.dll. Please install Avant Browser again.
- Failed to load _sqlite3.dll.
- The application has failed to start because _sqlite3.dll was not found.
- The file _sqlite3.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because _sqlite3.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your _sqlite3.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Avant Browser), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, _sqlite3.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Avant Browser, system crash while loading _sqlite3.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.
