Step 2. Create association of AVG Internet Security with AVGF files
If, despite the installed application, the AVGF file does not start in the AVG Internet Security 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 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AVGF file with the AVG Internet Security program.
Step 3. Update AVG Internet Security to the latest version
If, however, after binding AVG Internet Security with AVG Internet Security Data 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 AVG Technologies (Grisoft) page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AVGF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AVGF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AVGF file. However, remember that not every infected AVGF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AVGF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AVGF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file AVGF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the AVGF file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 AVGF to close. However, some background programs may block the AVGF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
