The program can't start because sqlite3.dll is missing from your computer

2

Every time I start my computer I get this error.

enter image description here

I tried to find PluginInstall.exe in my process or startup and there's nothing there.

enter image description here

I ran Avast anti virus as well and there was no virus.

I searched my whole computer for PluginInstall.exe and nothing shows either, so before downloading the sqlite3.dll and dropping it in my windows folder I wanted to find out what this program is or where is it, etc..

Any Ideas?

Try MS' Autoruns for checking what starts with Windows; it shows you way more info than MSconfig.

3You need to determine which startup entry is causing the error. The best way is trial and error. – Ramhound – 2014-05-15T23:07:59.003

PluginInstall.exe is in your AutoStart folder. It seems to use sqlite.

C:\Program Files\IObit\Surfing Protection\PluginInstall.exe

Something like that. It is a common Malware. Sometimes Malware authors work sloppily. Then you are lucky and you get this error message.
