What are pknMDT.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library pknMDT.dll Errors

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

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

How to Fix pknMDT.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your pknMDT.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):

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the pknMDT.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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

  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying pknMDT.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Panda Security typically does not release Panda Free Antivirus DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing pknMDT.dll and all other DLL files for Panda Free Antivirus. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
