What are K7CLCache.dat Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library K7CLCache.dat Errors

K7CLCache.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like K7CLCache.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like certutil.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. K7 TotalSecurity) could share the same K7CLCache.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 K7CLCache.dat is attempted to be loaded either when K7 TotalSecurity is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common K7CLCache.dat errors include:

• Access Violation at address - K7CLCache.dat.
• K7CLCache.dat could not be found.
• Cannot find C:\ProgramData\K7 Computing\K7TSecurity\Common\K7CLCache.dat.
• Cannot register K7CLCache.dat.
• Cannot start K7 TotalSecurity. A required component is missing: K7CLCache.dat. Please install K7 TotalSecurity again.
• Failed to load K7CLCache.dat.
• The application has failed to start because K7CLCache.dat was not found.
• The file K7CLCache.dat is missing or corrupt.
• This application failed to start because K7CLCache.dat was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your K7CLCache.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with K7 TotalSecurity), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, K7CLCache.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading K7 TotalSecurity, system crash while loading K7CLCache.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.
