It should be very simple.

  • Simply type the name of that .dll into google. Usually you can download it off the first link.
  • Put that downloaded .dll into the folder where your application is.
  • Run the program and it should be fixed.
  • Sometimes after adding the .dll, it will report missing another kind of .dll. You just repeat the process for the missing .dll.

Tip: Lots of these download sites have heaps of misleading ads that direct you to random websites. Just make sure you download the right .dll.

Edit: Here is the .dll I downloaded for you.

I'm a little skeptical of the topic. I think the website is exxagerating the situation. Of course there are probebly a few dodgey sites, but some sites are rather large with a good reputation. Viruses invading these kind of sites are just as likely to infest any other website which you use reguarly. Being paranoid about viruses on a secure dll website is like being parnoid about being on the hive workshop.
