What are PreMalScn.exe Error Messages?


PreMalScn.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the PreMalScn.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting PreMalScn.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using IObit PC Secure. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of IObit, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of PreMalScn.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
