Basically, anti spyware, anti malware or anti-adware take QuickBooks update as a threat. In this case, we should keep it in mind that Error 15222 QuickBooks does not have any association with antivirus till it couples with anti-spyware.

When the register digital signatures do not work any longer and the function is active in the Internet Explorer, then this error happens.

Follow the steps below to Fix QuickBooks Error 15222

Install a digital signal certificate:

In the initial stage, we have to shut down the QuickBooks Desktop. It should be done in the initial stage because if QuickBooks is open, then the Digital Signature tab will not be seen.

In the next step, we have to do right click on QBW32.exe which is located in C:\ Program Files\ Intuit \ QuickBooks and select Properties.
