etw_rules.json file errors often occur during the startup phase of BitDefender, but can also occur while the program is running. These types JSON errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while BitDefender is running. Here are some of the most common etw_rules.json runtime errors:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Bitdefender Antivirus Free\etw_rules.json
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

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

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve etw_rules.json problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.
CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying etw_rules.json to your appropriate Windows system directory. Bitdefender typically does not release BitDefender JSON 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 etw_rules.json and all other JSON files for BitDefender. An incorrectly installed JSON file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
