What are css_installer.exe Error Messages?


css_installer.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Comodo Internet Security errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when css_installer.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Comodo 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 Comodo Internet Security.

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

Some of the most common css_installer.exe errors include:

  • css_installer.exe - Bad Image.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the css_installer.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting css_installer.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using COMODO Secure Shopping. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of COMODO, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of css_installer.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.
