What are w9xpopen.exe Error Messages?

w9xpopen.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are ClamWin errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when w9xpopen.exe is attempted to be loaded either when ClamWin is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using ClamWin.

In most cases, w9xpopen.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these w9xpopen.exe error messages mean that ClamWin was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, ClamWin will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common w9xpopen.exe errors include:

w9xpopen.exe - Bad Image.

Finding the source of the w9xpopen.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting w9xpopen.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using ClamWin 0.98.7. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Open Source, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of w9xpopen.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.

Download w9xpopen.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying w9xpopen.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Open Source typically does not release ClamWin EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing w9xpopen.exe and all other EXE files for ClamWin. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
