PC Tools Protection Program is unable to start properly.

This may be caused by a conflict or a permission problem.

The first thing we should try is to close the PC Tool protection program. Just right click on the icon and choose shutdown.

Next, go to the control panel and uninstall the program from add/remove programs.

Make sure all files and folders related to the software are erased.

After this we reinstall the program.

Just download the program again or insert the disc if that’s what you’re using.

Make sure all files are installed then open the program and the first thing you should do is to run a Smart update.

If this does not fix the problem disable some programs and try reinstalling.
