What are BullGuardHelper.exe Error Messages?


BullGuardHelper.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are BullGuard Internet Security errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when BullGuardHelper.exe is attempted to be loaded either when BullGuard Internet Security is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using BullGuard Internet Security.

In most cases, BullGuardHelper.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these BullGuardHelper.exe error messages mean that BullGuard Internet Security was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, BullGuard Internet Security will be unable to start without resolving these errors.
