• Registry problems are one of the major causes of errors related to DLLs. Whenever, an application or a utility is installed on your computer, its DLLs are registered in the registry. The registry is the backbone of your Windows PC, it works hard to provide all the required information to enable your PC to operate as desired. In the process, a large amount of information is added to or removed from the registry. This leads to uncontrolled growth of the registry that may eventually corrupt and fragment the registry. In due course, this damages the registry and may corrupt various entries added to it and cause frequent system errors and crashes.To fix these problems, you will need to scan the registry for errors and remove them. To do this, you may use a registry cleaner software such as RegGenie. This tool provides you with simple-to-use options that helps you automatically scan and repair registry errors. This tool will also help you in compressing the registry and thus, optimizing the performance of your PC.

• Spyware and backdoors are also a major cause of concern. These malicious programs gain access to your PC and plant DLLs and files with names similar to or the same as existing or other legitimate Windows files.To prevent these malware infestations, you must keep the antivirus and antispyware software on your computer updated with the latest definitions and run regular scans to identify and remove malicious files or processes from your computer.

Taking good preventive measures and being vigilant of what you open and run on your computer will help you keep it free from errors.
