What are AdblockPlus32.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library AdblockPlus32.dll Errors

AdblockPlus32.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like AdblockPlus32.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer) could share the same AdblockPlus32.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 AdblockPlus32.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common AdblockPlus32.dll errors include:

Your AdblockPlus32.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, AdblockPlus32.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer, system crash while loading AdblockPlus32.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.

  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 AdblockPlus32.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 AdblockPlus32.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

Download AdblockPlus32.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying AdblockPlus32.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory.
