What are psi_tray.exe Error Messages?

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

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

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to poor programming on behalf of Secunia, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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