What are SmadHook32b.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library SmadHook32b.dll Errors

SmadHook32b.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like SmadHook32b.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. SmadAV 2019) could share the same SmadHook32b.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when SmadHook32b.dll is attempted to be loaded either when SmadAV 2019 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common SmadHook32b.dll errors include:

Your SmadHook32b.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with SmadAV 2019), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, SmadHook32b.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading SmadAV 2019, system crash while loading SmadHook32b.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix SmadHook32b.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your SmadHook32b.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many SmadHook32b.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the SmadHook32b.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your SmadHook32b.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate SmadHook32b.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free SmadHook32b.dll files for every applicable version of SmadAV 2019. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\SMADAV\

Download SmadHook32b.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying SmadHook32b.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. SmadAv typically does not release SmadAV 2019 DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing SmadHook32b.dll and all other DLL files for SmadAV 2019. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
