You may have noticed that we specially focus on the DLLSuite in 4 categories, including DLL Files Fixer, DLL Repair Tool, File Recovery Tool and Windows DLL Fixer. You may be confused why we list DLLSuite as one of the top 8 must-have PC tools when comparing with other 7 that are 100% Must-Have PC tools for your daily system operation.
So the question now is what DLLSuite is and how it can do?
DLL Suite is a Microsoft Windows DLL repair tool that allows PC users to fix DLL errors, repair corrupt files and download missing DLL files for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP, both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
Any computer can become slow, freeze, even crash, but few PC users will take any methods to avoid this kinds of problems, until error messages occur in their computers some day. When facing error messages, PC users with different level of computer knowledge will take different methods to fix them.
The common causes of PC problems are virus/spyware and incorrect system files.
So you should always perform a virus/spyware scan with the latest antivirus/antispyware software before you take any further measures to repair PC problems. As usual, removing malware threats helps resolve the issue of this kind. If your computer is virus/spyware free, then the most possible reason is incorrect system files.
What are incorrect system files?
The incorrect system files are the missing, modified, deleted, corrupted or removed files.
You can see that the causes of these 3 computer problems are the file athrx.sys, kernel32.dll and svchost.exe. Do they belong to incorrect system files? The answer is absolutely YES. So what can cause incorrect system files?
What can cause incorrect system files?
Before you install any software to a newly built system, all of the files in the C:\WINDOWS are original. We call these files as DLL files. DLL files contains the files with the extensions of .dll, .sys, .exe, .drv and .font.
Daily system operation, virus/spyware, uninstalling/installing software programs, upgrading Windows, etc. will introduce new or out-of-date DLL files that will overwrite the original ones and the properties of the these files will be modified. The properties of a single system file include the following 6 aspects:
| The properties of a single system file: | |||||
| 1. File name | 2. Size | 3. Version | 4. Creation time | 5. Description | 6. Publisher |
As usual, the last 5 will be changed when it is replaced by other files. When some common DLL files are replaced, your computer would continue to work without any problem, but if some essential DLL files, like athrx.sys, kernel32.dll and svchost.exe are replaced, your system would crash.
The reason is that these essential files are shared by other applications and the system itself. When there is any problems or damage to these shared files, the problems will occur to your computer.
How to detect incorrect DLL files?
Before DLLSuite, we didn't find any tool that can help detect incorrect DLL files and repair them. Though rogue software authors claim that DLL problems can be detected and repaired by their registry cleaners. For the registry cleaners, please see the information in the How to fix incorrect DLL files section.
How does DLLSuite detect incorrect DLL files?
The DLL error detection mechanism behind DLLSuite is to compare the properties of the DLL files in your system with the original ones. If there is any changes to those files, DLLSuite will detect them and then suggest that you download the original ones to replace them to fix DLL errors.
