Step 2. Create association of Alpha Five with ADBLOCK files

If, despite the installed application, the ADBLOCK file does not start in the Alpha Five application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ADBLOCK 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 ADBLOCK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ADBLOCK file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ADBLOCK file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ADBLOCK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ADBLOCK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ADBLOCK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Alpha Software, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ADBLOCK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ADBLOCK file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ADBLOCK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
