What are AdAwareTray.exe Error Messages?

AdAwareTray.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common AdAwareTray.exe errors include:

AdAwareTray.exe - Bad Image.
AdAwareTray.exe Application Error.
AdAwareTray.exe could not be found.
AdAwareTray.exe could not be installed.
AdAwareTray.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
AdAwareTray.exe could not be started.
AdAwareTray.exe failed to initialize properly.
AdAwareTray.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
AdAwareTray.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Cannot find AdAwareTray.exe.
Error starting program: AdAwareTray.exe.
Faulting Application Path: AdAwareTray.exe.
The file AdAwareTray.exe is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - AdAwareTray.exe.

System Error

The program can’t start because AdAwareTray.exe 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 AdAwareTray.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting AdAwareTray.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using adaware antivirus. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of adaware, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of AdAwareTray.exe 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.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your AdAwareTray.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the AdAwareTray.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.
