Run a Registry Scan

The error that you’re experiencing on your computer could be related to problems within the Windows registry. The registry is basically the central database system, used for storing all the most important data, such as hardware configuration settings, desktop settings, software settings etc.

In situations like this, registry cleaners come most in handy, as you’ll be required to locate and remove all invalid entries within the registry in order to fix the problem. This is where Advanced System Repair Pro comes in, as my recommended cleaner tool, a tool that will save a considerable amount of your time, with minimal risk to your computer, its ability to optimise your systems performance is also another plus and reason why you should have it on your computer.

Update Hardware Drivers

If you receive these error messages when watching movies, playing a video game or listening to music, then the cause of the error could be due to a fault within your graphics card drivers. Updating your drivers may be in order, which can be done by going to the official website of your graphics card manufacturer then locating and downloading the latest drivers from there.

Alternatively, if you’re unable to locate these drivers, then you can use the driver updater tool called DriverFinder, this tool will automate the entire process by locating, downloading and installing the drivers with a single click of your mouse.

Run a Malware Scan

One of the best ways to determine whether or not the wfcrun32.exe has been infected with a virus is to run a search on your computer to determine the files location. Depending on your version of Windows, this can be done by doing the following:

1. First boot into your computer with a user profile that has full administrative rights.

2. Then Press windows key + R, type Explorer and click on OK.

run -> explorer

3. This will load up File Explorer, from here, click on your C:\ (On the left hand column), then type Wfcrun32.exe into the Search Box.

file explorer -> search box -> Wfcrun32.exe

Note: If the operating finds more than one instance of the file on your computer, that is a good indication that your computer is infected with a virus; alternatively, if you find the file in any location other than its default (C:\Program Files), that’s also a strong indication of a viral infection.

Note: For Windows XP users looking for step by step instructions on how to search for this particular process, I recommend you check out my post on finding duplicate files.

Once you have established that your computer has been infected with a virus (and even if you haven’t), your next step is to run a full virus can of your system. In order to carry out this task, I recommend you use SpyHunter, and that’s because of its ability to not only detect and repair virus infections, but also to repair Windows components in the process.
