What is sqlite3.dll? Should I remove it?

Sqlite3.dll – a relatively safe file that sometimes could cause problems

Sqlite3.dll is a dynamic link library file that is related to the lightweight SQL database engine. This file can be installed and used by various programs that use SQlite. Similarly to .exe files, DLL include instructions for the operating system on how to perform specific tasks on multiple applications. Unlike executable, however, it can not be run directly and is instead initiated by another code already running on the system.

There are many different reasons for the Sqlite3.dll error to be shown, including Windows Registry problem, buggy software, hardware failure or malware infection.

Since the .dll file can be infected or replaced by malware, the possibility of a cyber infection is very real. Therefore, users should also make sure that it is not a computer virus causing issues with the Sqlite3.dll file. Typically, trojan horses can silently infiltrate systems and make certain changes without users' consent.

Unfortunately, many types of malware barely show any symptoms. However, users might encounter the following:

  • Installed software crashing
  • Various stop errors
  • Software errors
  • Random system reboots
  • Unknown processes running in the Task Manager
  • General slowdown on the computer
  • Increased CPU/GPU usage

Since malware that affects the PC can vary, symptoms can too. Additionally, malicious activity on the PC can range from simple ad infection into browsers, to personal file encryption or sensitive data harvesting. Therefore, if you suspect that your machine might be affected by malware, hurry up and scan it using security software to remove Sqlite3.dll virus.

Malware can be infected into machines using various propagation techniques

Generally speaking, not many computer users know much about malware and how it works. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are quick to utilize that and abuse victims trust. Therefore, users should be aware of the main malware distribution methods to avoid dangerous cuber infections. Security experts recommend the following:

  • Beware of spam emails. Phishing email campaigns are often used to spread malware around the globe. Do not open attachments or click on links, no matter how believable they seem. Instead, make sure that the source is legitimate and, if needed, scan links or files using reputable scanning tools like Virus Total;
  • Protect your Remote Desktop Protocol connection. Always use a VPN instead of directly connecting to the internet when using RDP. Brute-force attacks are quite common and used by criminals to inject various malware, including ransomware;
  • Patch your system as soon as updates become available. Security updates prevent hackers from using exploit kits to install malware;
  • Avoid file-sharing, torrent, and other dubious sites. Not only pirated software is illegal, but can result in multiple virus infections;
  • Employ a reputable security program with the Real-time feature.

Get rid of Sqlite3.dll virus using comprehensive anti-malware software

As we already mentioned, malware can disguise itself pretty well inside the system. Additionally, it can also stop certain security-related processes or even prevent users from visiting security websites. Therefore, users should enter Safe Mode with Networking to temporary disable the functionality of Sqlite3.dll virus.

However, be aware that manual Sqlite3.dll virus removal should never be practiced, as it can entirely break your system from operating, in case wrong actions are taken. Please let professional solutions to take care of the dangerous threat.

That being said, Sqlite3.dll-related issues might not be coming from malware at all. In such a case, scan your system using FortectIntego.
