What are ekrnParental.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library ekrnParental.dll Errors

ekrnParental.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like ekrnParental.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like mighost.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. ESET Nod32 Antivirus) could share the same ekrnParental.dll 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 DLL 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 ekrnParental.dll is attempted to be loaded either when ESET Nod32 Antivirus is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common ekrnParental.dll errors include:

Your ekrnParental.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with ESET Nod32 Antivirus), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ekrnParental.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading ESET Nod32 Antivirus, system crash while loading ekrnParental.dll, 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.
