YRefresher.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like YRefresher.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. AutoRefresher for IE) could share the same YRefresher.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 YRefresher.dll is attempted to be loaded either when AutoRefresher for IE is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common YRefresher.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - YRefresher.dll.
- YRefresher.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\YRefresher\YRefresher.dll.
- Cannot register YRefresher.dll.
- Cannot start AutoRefresher for IE. A required component is missing: YRefresher.dll. Please install AutoRefresher for IE again.
- Failed to load YRefresher.dll.
- The application has failed to start because YRefresher.dll was not found.
- The file YRefresher.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because YRefresher.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your YRefresher.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with AutoRefresher for IE), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, YRefresher.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading AutoRefresher for IE, system crash while loading YRefresher.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.
