What are {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat Errors

{DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. ZoneAlarm Pro Antivirus+Firewall 2019) could share the same {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DAT file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat is attempted to be loaded either when ZoneAlarm Pro Antivirus+Firewall 2019 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat errors include:

Your {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with ZoneAlarm Pro Antivirus+Firewall 2019), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading ZoneAlarm Pro Antivirus+Firewall 2019, system crash while loading {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying {DA298D7E-72A2-4F20-8777-4E2F3E30419D}.dat to your appropriate Windows system directory.
