Is e_sqlite3.DLL safe?

Item: e_sqlite3.DLL
Rating: 2.5
Author: MalwareTips File Scanner

45/100

Safety rating

Elevated risk

Verdict

Suspicious

Unsigned DLL with sandbox evidence of process injection and a single low-trust engine flag.

One low-trust engine flagged the file; tier-1 engines stayed silent. Sandbox logs show T1055 process injection and T1562.001 defence-evasion activity, yet no researcher signatures or tier-1 consensus exist.

Do not use it until verified

Treat the DLL as untrusted; restrict its use until a trusted, signed build or additional corroboration is obtained.

Before using

Do not use it until the source and publisher can be verified independently.

If you already used it

Stop using it, scan the device, and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts. Reinstall the parent software from the developer's official site instead of replacing this component by itself.

Intelligence

The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.

Analyst conclusion

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat

Single low-trust detection and absence of tier-1 consensus suggest possible false positive, but the observed T1055 process-injection behaviour in sandbox still requires caution.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Recommended action

Treat the DLL as untrusted; restrict its use until a trusted, signed build or additional corroboration is obtained.

What this file does

Observed actions and their security significance

High concern: Injected code into another process, a technique that can conceal execution.
High concern: Used an input-capture technique that can record credentials or keystrokes.
High concern: Attempted to impair or bypass security controls.
High concern: Manipulated how the operating system loads code, which can redirect execution.
Moderate concern: Contained obfuscated or packed code that makes inspection harder.
Moderate concern: Scans through your files and folders.
Moderate concern: Checked the environment for virtualisation or analysis tools.

These are observed capabilities from an isolated analysis. A technique does not prove malicious intent on its own, and the file never ran on your device.

Complete recovery guidance and answers for the next decision.

What to do now

We couldn't fully clear this file. Treat it with caution.

Recovery step 01
Don't use it unless you're certain it came from a source you trust.
Recovery step 02
Check where you got it — an unexpected attachment or a random download link is a red flag.
Recovery step 03
Do not delete or replace the component manually. Quarantine it with your antivirus or repair the parent software from its official source. Reinstall the parent software from the developer's official site instead of replacing this component by itself.
Recovery step 04
If you're still unsure, scan it again in a day or two — detections often catch up on newer files.

Safety FAQ

Direct answers grounded in the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

7 evidence-based answers

Is e_sqlite3.DLL safe, or is it malware?

Evidence-based answer

e_sqlite3.DLL is suspicious — treat it as unsafe until you're sure. 1 of 75 antivirus engines flag it; that detection signal contributes to the cautious verdict. Don't use it unless you fully trust where it came from. Reinstall the parent software from the developer's official site instead of replacing this component by itself.

What is e_sqlite3.DLL?

Evidence-based answer

e_sqlite3.DLL is a Windows library or loadable module, about 1.5 MB. We identify a file by its cryptographic hash rather than its name, because the same filename can be reused by completely different files — the hash below is the reliable fingerprint.

How many antivirus engines detected e_sqlite3.DLL?

Evidence-based answer

1 of 75 antivirus engines flagged e_sqlite3.DLL, 1 of them as outright malicious. The raw count alone does not establish safety or danger; we also weigh which engines flagged it and corroborating behavior, identity, reputation, and rule evidence.

I already downloaded and used e_sqlite3.DLL — what should I do?

Evidence-based answer

Act quickly. 1) Disconnect the device from the internet to stop the malware communicating or spreading. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and quarantine everything it finds. 3) Change your important passwords from a DIFFERENT, clean device — many threats log keystrokes or steal saved credentials. 4) If you bank or shop on this device, watch closely for fraud and alert your bank. 5) For a confirmed infection, the most reliable fix is to back up your personal files and reinstall the operating system for a clean start.

How do I remove e_sqlite3.DLL?

Evidence-based answer

To remove e_sqlite3.DLL: 1) restart into Safe Mode (Safe Mode with Networking if you need to download a tool) so the malware doesn't auto-start. 2) Run a full scan with reputable anti-malware software and let it quarantine or delete the detections. 3) Quarantine this component with your antivirus, then repair or reinstall the parent software from its official source. Do not delete or replace the component manually. 4) Check your browser extensions, startup items, and scheduled tasks for anything unfamiliar. 5) Reboot and scan again to confirm it's gone. If detections keep coming back, a clean operating-system reinstall is the most dependable cure.

What is the SHA-256 hash of e_sqlite3.DLL?

Evidence-based answer

The SHA-256 hash of e_sqlite3.DLL is 2c3a1c32ba78aea60dd6094112c17406eaf5c524222c6b3fac267edc2294006e, and its MD5 is 72b6b39d5339bba3d6996ae5223c3b35. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.

How up to date is this analysis of e_sqlite3.DLL?

Evidence-based answer

This report reflects the scan run on August 19, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of e_sqlite3.DLL is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa). If you need the latest picture, MalwareTips staff can re-run the analysis from scratch.
