kismain.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Clean Master for PC.

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