Doing a DLL search is usually the last thing you want to do. First, it means you can’t find a DLL. Second, it means you actually might have to figure out what a DLL is.
A DLL search is necessary when these small files (DLL stands for Dynamic Linked – or Loaded – Library; aren’t you sorry you asked?) go missing, either stored in a location the program can’t find or missing altogether. Running up against a missing DLL and having to do a DLL search can be one of the most frustrating problems a computer user faces.
Most computer users never hear about DLLs unless there’s a problem. They are crucial files, though, and are used in nearly every function your computer performs. Some are used by multiple applications; and some are specific to one particular program.
And then there are the bad DLLs, malware programs. These can actually remote good DLLs and replace them with files that are dangerous or annoying, so a missing DLL is always something to be concerned about.
