How to open RARE1 file?

The main problem with Merry X-Mas Ransomware Affected Format is that the RARE1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RARE1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RARE1 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. To do this, enter the name Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR into the system search engine.

Below is a list of programs that support the file RARE1.

Programs to open RARE1 file

Remember to download programs supporting RARE1 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 RARE1 files

If, despite the installed application, the RARE1 file does not start in the Emsisoft Decrypter for MRCR application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 RARE1 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. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Emsi Software GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RARE1 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 RARE1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 RARE1 file. However, remember that not every infected RARE1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RARE1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RARE1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RARE1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RARE1 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RARE1 to close. 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.
