What is a .DLL.SIG file?

A .DLL.SIG file is a special kind of file that acts like a digital ID or stamp for another file, which has the extension .DLL. DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library, and these files are very important for Windows computers because they contain instructions that different programs need to run. Just like you might check someone's ID to make sure they are who they say they are, computers use the .DLL.SIG file to check that the .DLL file is safe and hasn't been changed by someone who shouldn't have, like hackers.

When you have a program on your Windows computer that uses .DLL files, there's a good chance it also has .DLL.SIG files. These signature files are there to make sure that every time the program runs, it's using the correct and unaltered .DLL files. This is a way to keep your computer safe from malware or other harmful changes.

However, unlike other types of files, you can't just double-click a .DLL.SIG file to open it in a program. In fact, there aren't any programs designed specifically for opening .DLL.SIG files because they are not meant to be opened by users. They work in the background, and you might not even know they're there. But they play a crucial role in keeping the software on your computer running smoothly and securely.
