Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your Tools.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with K7 TotalSecurity), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Tools.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading K7 TotalSecurity, system crash while loading or saving Tools.ini, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection.
