What are gpdeviceprotection.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library gpdeviceprotection.dll Errors

gpdeviceprotection.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like gpdeviceprotection.dll, 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 gpdeviceprotection.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 gpdeviceprotection.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Avira Free Antivirus is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common gpdeviceprotection.dll errors include:

Your gpdeviceprotection.dll 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, gpdeviceprotection.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Avira Free Antivirus, system crash while loading gpdeviceprotection.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.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your gpdeviceprotection.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Step 2: If recently installed Avira Free Antivirus (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Avira Free Antivirus software.

You can uninstall Avira Free Antivirus software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
