Cause

bJW.exe is the executable file used by the backup software.
The first indication the file has terminated is when the backup misses its schedule.

This error can be seen after an update has been pushed out from our service which hasn’t installed correctly.

Fix

  1. Disable the antivirus and security software from scanning these folders:
