Hi I hope someone can help me. I purchased Trend Micro and ran a scan. Then I
later found out that it removed the LIBEAY 32 dll. I fired off a letter to
them and they couldn't help. Ty in advance.

Some say that this DLL is part of a spyware. Are you using OpenSSL?

Free download:

According to:

http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/dlllibrary/libeay32/ and
http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/libeay32/21558
---------------------
libeay32.dll contains encryption functions which allow for coded
communications over networks. This file is opensource and is used in
many opensource programs to help with SSL communication

Recommendation
Not a critical component, but see the information above before disabling
it. It is highly recommended to Run a Performance Scan to automatically
optimize memory, CPU and Internet Settings..
---------------------

It is ALSO part of a viral load, especially if the filename is as you
gave it; meaning, LIBEAY 32 dll instead of LIBEAY32.dll (note the space
in the name). See the first link above. I do NOT speak for nor
recommend either of those sites for their programs; but their
information has always proven solid for me.
If you do a search on symantec.com, they also have info on
LIBEAY32.dll as a virus.

Oh my gosh!! That really helped. My dll is no longer missing. Now if I can
just get my pc to run faster-it's really slow. Thank you so much.
