A .dll file, or Dynamic-link library file, is used by a variety of different programs on your computer, and typically you do not see or tamper with .dll files. However, if you have been infected with a .dll virus you need to make sure you track it down and remove it as soon as possible. If not, the .dll virus can latch onto a different program and begin spreading harmful content through your operating system.
