What are IMFsrv.exe Error Messages?


IMFsrv.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common IMFsrv.exe errors include:

The program can’t start because IMFsrv.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 IMFsrv.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting IMFsrv.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using IObit Malware Fighter. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of IObit, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of IMFsrv.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.
