What are knap.db Error Messages?


General knap.db Runtime Errors

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

Most DB errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your knap.db file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with BullGuard Internet Security), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, knap.db file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading BullGuard Internet Security, system crash while loading or saving knap.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 knap.db Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


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