How to open AVGCONFIG file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AVGCONFIG 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.

Programs to open AVGCONFIG file
Remember to download programs supporting AVGCONFIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AVG Antivirus with AVGCONFIG files
If, despite the installed application, the AVGCONFIG file does not start in the AVG Antivirus 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AVGCONFIG file with the AVG Antivirus application.
Step 3. Update AVG Antivirus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AVG Antivirus program with the AVG Antivirus Configuration 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 AVG Technologies (Grisoft) website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AVGCONFIG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AVGCONFIG file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AVGCONFIG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AVGCONFIG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AVGCONFIG 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AVGCONFIG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AVGCONFIG 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AVGCONFIG to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AVGCONFIG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AVGCONFIG file again. However, some background programs may block the AVGCONFIG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
