Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using GridinSoft Anti-Malware.

In most cases, devcon64.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these devcon64.exe error messages mean that GridinSoft Anti-Malware was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process.
