"E575: viminfo: Illegal starting char in line:" while opening a file on Linux

Error:
E575: viminfo: Illegal starting char in line: 2015-04-03 12:35:01:64263:1428089701:1428089701:0:ok
E575: viminfo: Illegal starting char in line: 2015-04-03 12:36:01:44948:cronmon.ksh starting as pid 44948 with threshold of 120 seconds.

Reason : 
viminfo file got corrupted

Solution :
viminfo file is present in the user home location, as its hidden file it starts with .viminfo. The solution for this error is deleting this .viminfo file or rename it. This file will get generated again once you open a file.
