Ad ware performed illegal operation

Asked By Dennis Azal 30 points N/A Posted on - 08/26/2012

I still have this old school computer just for word editing and typing and it has only this ad aware software but whenever I open this computer this error always appears, any idea on how to fix this?

Ad-aware

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

Ad ware performed illegal operation

 

Hi there,

 

This problem is a common problem especially in older types of OS, but its solution is as easy as pie.

 

You just have to move some drivers or registries to their true destination and that will resolve it easily.

 

First of all you have to update your adware to latest according to your OS.

 

For this you have to update riched20.dll and riched32.dll.

 

Now when they are updated or if they are already updated copy both of them to " C:WindowsSystem32 " folder.

 

Also copy paste both of them to this destination " C:WindowsSystem ".

 

Now reboot and check again.

 

This will resolve your problem!
