How to open KLQ file?
The most common problem when using Kaspersky Anti-Virus Quarantine Format is that a specific KLQ is not associated with the program. This causes the file KLQ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KLQ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Kaspersky Anti-Virus
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Kaspersky Anti-Virus into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KLQ with Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Below is a list of programs that support the file KLQ.
Programs to open KLQ file
Remember to download programs supporting KLQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kaspersky Anti-Virus with KLQ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KLQ file to open in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Kaspersky Anti-Virus application as the default for handling the KLQ file.
Step 3. Update Kaspersky Anti-Virus to the latest version
If, however, after binding Kaspersky Anti-Virus with Kaspersky Anti-Virus Quarantine Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Kaspersky Lab page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KLQ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KLQ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KLQ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KLQ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KLQ file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KLQ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Kaspersky
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KLQ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move KLQ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
