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

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