diskSimpleAnalyze.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like diskSimpleAnalyze.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like DismHost.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. AVG PC TuneUp) could share the same diskSimpleAnalyze.dat file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DAT file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when diskSimpleAnalyze.dat is attempted to be loaded either when AVG PC TuneUp is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common diskSimpleAnalyze.dat errors include:
- Access Violation at address - diskSimpleAnalyze.dat.
- diskSimpleAnalyze.dat could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\ProgramData\Avg\AVG TuneUp\gf2engine\diskSimpleAnalyze.dat.
- Cannot register diskSimpleAnalyze.dat.
- Cannot start AVG PC TuneUp. A required component is missing: diskSimpleAnalyze.dat. Please install AVG PC TuneUp again.
- Failed to load diskSimpleAnalyze.dat.
- The application has failed to start because diskSimpleAnalyze.dat was not found.
- The file diskSimpleAnalyze.dat is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because diskSimpleAnalyze.dat was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your diskSimpleAnalyze.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with AVG PC TuneUp), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, diskSimpleAnalyze.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading AVG PC TuneUp, system crash while loading diskSimpleAnalyze.dat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
