While the virus warning that person got is most certainly a false positive, this is the stupidest imaginable reasoning as to why and could hardly be more wrong. DLL files are program code that executables can link dynamically, and as long as some executable links that DLL and calls functions from it, any code in it will get executed and can do absolutely anything on your PC, just like an executable. In terms of amount of binary code, some five megabytes is a massive amount of code, it is slightly more than say, explorer.exe, which is responsible for displaying your desktop, taskbar, folders, moving files around and countless other tasks.Dude are you serious? Thats a 5,615 kb file with a .dll extension.
Please educate yourself before you wreck your PC by going on one of those "download missing DLLs for free" sites and install an actual virus because hurr durr dlls can't be harmful.
