    Runtime error 216


    Sometimes my PC pop up "runtime error 216", I suspect that it is caused by malware, but I scanned my PC many times with Kaspersky without any malware found. Do you know how to find the cause of this error?

    I've asked for this thread to be moved from the BSOD section. It is most likely to do with a virus:
