RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like Setup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Avira Free Antivirus) could share the same RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.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 RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat is attempted to be loaded either when Avira Free Antivirus is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat errors include:
- Access Violation at address - RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat.
- RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\ProgramData\Avira\SystemSpeedup\RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat.
- Cannot register RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat.
- Cannot start Avira Free Antivirus. A required component is missing: RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat. Please install Avira Free Antivirus again.
- Failed to load RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat.
- The application has failed to start because RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat was not found.
- The file RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat 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, RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Avira Free Antivirus, system crash while loading RealTimeOptimizerDB_Backup.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.
