What are protect.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library protect.dll Errors

protect.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like protect.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like FileCoAuth.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. World Racing 2 demo) could share the same protect.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 protect.dll is attempted to be loaded either when World Racing 2 demo is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common protect.dll errors include:

Your protect.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with World Racing 2 demo), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, protect.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading World Racing 2 demo, system crash while loading protect.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.
