How to open AVM file?
The main problem with AVG Incremental Persistent is that the AVM file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AVM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AVM 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 AVG Antivirus
In this case, you should first verify that the AVG Antivirus application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AVG Antivirus in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file AVM.
Programs to open AVM file
Remember to download programs supporting AVM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AVG Antivirus with AVM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AVM file to open in the AVG Antivirus application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AVG Antivirus application as the default for handling the AVM file.
Step 3. Update AVG Antivirus to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the AVG Antivirus program, it is possible that AVG Incremental Persistent requires a newer version of the program. 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 AVM 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AVM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AVM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AVM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AVM file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AVM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use AVG Technologies (Grisoft) help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AVM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AVM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AVM 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 AVM file again. However, some background programs may block the AVM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
