What are {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat Errors

{F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. AVG Internet Security) could share the same {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.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 {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat is attempted to be loaded either when AVG Internet Security is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat errors include:

Your {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with AVG Internet Security), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading AVG Internet Security, system crash while loading {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.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.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat 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 {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat File (Caution: Advanced)

  2. Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
  3. Copy this file to the appropriate AVG Internet Security folder location:
    Windows 10: C:\Users\Tester\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Recovery\Last Active\
  4. Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying {F0542C9B-F567-11E9-A54C-000000000002}.dat to your appropriate Windows system directory. AVG Technologies typically does not release AVG Internet Security DAT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
