Edit dlls?

Question

I have a dll i need but its infected with a virus. I decided that maybe i could remove the virus by opening the file. I downloaded Pivotal DDL Editor but it said the dll did not exsist. This led me to think that it may be in some way protected. Is there a way of opening protected dlls?

Answer 1

DLL stands for Dynamic Linking Libraries. These are libraries compiled to offer programs, sets of functions in order to be called when the program is executed. Most of these functions can be called several times from different kind of programs.

A DLL is like an .EXE file. It's executable and when such kind of programs get infected by a virus, the only thing that could cure them is an antivirus like MCaffee virusscan or norton antivirus or Panda antivirus or AVG antivirus etc etc

You cannot edit the DLL because you don't know exactly where the virus code is located and even if you knew, it 's not readable in a human language but in machine code language.

I advice you to get an antivirus to do the job from you.

Kindest regards :)

Let's start by saying DLL's are generally not to be messed with in any way.
If you have an infected DLL your best bet is to unInstall the Application that uses that particular DLL, and then re-install the application again this will place a new DLL in the place of the infected one you just trashed.
