Odd message box in middle of PC screen ! Help please !
I am absolutely clueless about techy things and I am at a loss what to do so hoping someone can help please.
All of a sudden yesterday while just looking at Ebay a message box suddenly popped up on the middle of my computer screen that i have been unable to get rid of since It says " The procedure entry point BCrypyDereivePBKDF2 could not be located in the dynamic link library bcrypt.dll." I have tried my old failsafe of switching the computer off and then back on multiple times but no luck. I have tried clicking the close X and the OK button but it will not go away I am having to do everything with it annoyingly in place. Anyone got any ideas on how to get rid ? Please bear in mind I am a total numpty around computers ! Thank you.

I would start by running a full scan of your antivirus program, should be something like windows security centre/windows defender, McAfee or AVG. In your security centre are there any warnings etc?

I googled the file name and this is what it says:
3 Jul 2019 - DLL files such as bcrypt.dll are categorized as Win32 DLL (Dynamic link library) files. As a Windows Cryptographic Primitives Library file, it was created for use in Microsoft® Windows® Operating System by Microsoft. The release of bcrypt.dll introduced for Windows was on 11/08/2006 in Windows Vista. File Extension: DLL file extension File Operating System: Windows NT 32-bit Object File Type: Dynamic link library If you have a windows 10 pc, I suggest you check for the latest downloaded update and see if it changed something - mine has messed with my printer several times in the past year... so annoying. Good luck |

I would also consider looking at Tron - it is great for a lot of management of the OS that non-tech people don't care about. It includes virus and malware scanning and performs any other functions such as installing updates, removing junk.
reddit/r/TronScript/ It can take anywhere from an hour up to 6 hours as it does a lot of stuff. Most of it is automated apart from having to manually hit "Scan" on Malwarebytes. |

So a quick look suggests to me that something you have installed already on your computer has updated (or recently been installed?) and it uses this specific windows library.
Unfortunately the library doesn't exist on Windows Vista. I would go to the "Add or Remove Programs" settings window and sort by updated date so you can see what's changed recently (around the time you started seeing the error). You can then try uninstall the application if you don't need it or try contact support from the application provider. |

Here's a link to download the missing dll file and instructions for installing it.
fix4dll/bcrypt_dll Norton says the site is safe but you might want to get your own internet security programme to scan it too. Hope you get it fixed |

I have tried but getting nowhere. Will show all this to my DS when he visits at end of week and hopefully he can fix it. Thanks for your help
