How to open PEGS1 file?
The main problem with Merry X-Mas Ransomware Affected Format is that the PEGS1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PEGS1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PEGS1 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 Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR
The first step is to check if the computer has the Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR program installed. This can be achieved by typing Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PEGS1 files.
Programs to open PEGS1 file
Remember to download programs supporting PEGS1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR with PEGS1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PEGS1 file still does not use the Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR application as the default for handling the PEGS1 file.
Step 3. Update Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR program with the Merry X-Mas Ransomware Affected Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Emsi Software GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PEGS1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PEGS1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PEGS1 file. However, remember that not every infected PEGS1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PEGS1 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PEGS1 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PEGS1 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PEGS1 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PEGS1 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
