What are EFSBackup.db Error Messages?


General EFSBackup.db Runtime Errors

EFSBackup.db file errors often occur during the startup phase of BitDefender, but can also occur while the program is running. These types DB errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while BitDefender is running. Here are some of the most common EFSBackup.db runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Bitdefender Antivirus Free\secure_efs\EFSBackup.db

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most DB errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your EFSBackup.db file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with BitDefender), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, EFSBackup.db file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading BitDefender, system crash while loading or saving EFSBackup.db, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download EFSBackup.db Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying EFSBackup.db to your appropriate Windows system directory. Bitdefender typically does not release BitDefender DB 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 EFSBackup.db and all other DB files for BitDefender. An incorrectly installed DB file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
