What are avgBoot.exe Error Messages?

avgBoot.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common avgBoot.exe errors include:

avgBoot.exe - Bad Image.
avgBoot.exe Application Error.
avgBoot.exe could not be found.
avgBoot.exe could not be installed.
avgBoot.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
avgBoot.exe could not be started.
avgBoot.exe failed to initialize properly.
avgBoot.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
avgBoot.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
avgBoot.exe is not running.
Cannot find avgBoot.exe.
Error starting program: avgBoot.exe.
Faulting Application Path: avgBoot.exe.
The file avgBoot.exe is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - avgBoot.exe.

System Error

The program can’t start because avgBoot.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 avgBoot.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting avgBoot.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using AVG Internet Security System. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of AVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o., conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of avgBoot.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 avgBoot.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

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

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many avgBoot.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Windows 10: C:\Windows\System32\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files\AVG\Antivirus\setup\Inf\x64\
