  2. Missing MSVCP100.dll files

    Since Windows 8 update to Windows 10, AVG Antivirus/Internet Security 2013 misses some DLL to start :

    • MSVCR100.dll
    • MSVCP100.dll
    I managed to solve this problem by clicking right on AVG icon, selecting "Open file location" (it opens a window with all AVG files), double clicking on "upgrade.exe" (with AVG logo). A message shows that AVG protection was disabled by Windows 10. Click on
    start an update to get AVG 2015. That's all!

    Antivirus is showing msi.dll file as virus

    WHAT IS Sqlite3.dll

    DLL is a dynamic link library file format used for holding multiple codes and procedures for Windows programs. I won't suggest you to get rid of that file.

    Running an antivirus will remove the virus/threats from your machine.
