What are ProductSettings.json Error Messages?


General ProductSettings.json Runtime Errors

ProductSettings.json file errors often occur during the startup phase of Avira Free Antivirus, but can also occur while the program is running. These types JSON errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Avira Free Antivirus is running. Here are some of the most common ProductSettings.json runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Avira\VPN\Defaults\ProductSettings.json

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most JSON errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your ProductSettings.json file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Avira Free Antivirus), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ProductSettings.json file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Avira Free Antivirus, system crash while loading or saving ProductSettings.json, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
