What are data.bin Error Messages?


data.bin Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are BullGuard Internet Security errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these BIN errors are triggered when data.bin is attempted to be loaded either when BullGuard Internet Security is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of BIN error you will encounter using BullGuard Internet Security.

In most cases, data.bin runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these data.bin error messages mean that BullGuard Internet Security was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, BullGuard Internet Security will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common data.bin errors include:

  • data.bin - Bad Image.
  • data.bin Application Error.
  • data.bin could not be found.
  • data.bin could not be installed.
  • data.bin could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • data.bin could not be started.
  • data.bin failed to initialize properly.
  • data.bin has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
  • data.bin is not a valid Win32 application.
  • data.bin is not running.
  • Cannot find data.bin.
  • Error starting program: data.bin.
  • Faulting Application Path: data.bin.
  • The file data.bin is missing or corrupt.
  • Windows failed to start - data.bin.
System Error


The program can’t start because data.bin is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the data.bin error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these BIN errors affecting data.bin will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using BullGuard Internet Security 2013. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of BullGuard, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of data.bin errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the data.bin error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your data.bin File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate data.bin file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free data.bin files for every applicable version of BullGuard Internet Security. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

  1. Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download data.bin Files".
  2. Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
  3. Copy this file to the appropriate BullGuard Internet Security folder location:
    Windows 10: C:\Users\Tester\AppData\Local\SlimWare Utilities Inc\SlimCleaner Plus\
    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Common Files\AV\BullGuard Antivirus\
  4. Restart your computer.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve data.bin problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download data.bin Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying data.bin to your appropriate Windows system directory. BullGuard typically does not release BullGuard Internet Security BIN files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing data.bin and all other BIN files for BullGuard Internet Security. An incorrectly installed BIN file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
