When downloading a DLL file from Dll-Files.com, does the site verify the original digital signature from the software publisher, and is there a recommended way for users to manually check whether the DLL is an authentic, unmodified version compared to the one shipped with Windows or the original application?

Great question!
Both yes and no.
We publish both signed and unsigned version of different dll files. It's a manual process everytime we publish a new file on our website. If the file says that Microsoft created it, we require a signed version to publish it. But it's something that we started with about 10 or 15 years ago. So the old files on our website might not be signed.
When I write this answer it becomes obvious that we should display which files that are signed, so that our users can make their own decision about the safety to use a specific file.
But we have scanned all files for viruses. So even if they aren't signed, they shouldn't be able to harm your system.
