How to open BCKP file?
An often recurring problem with Ad-Aware Quarantined Format is that BCKP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BCKP 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 BCKP 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 Ad-Aware
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ad-Aware is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ad-Aware in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BCKP files.
Programs to open BCKP file
Remember to download programs supporting BCKP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ad-Aware with BCKP files
If, despite the installed application, the BCKP file does not start in the Ad-Aware 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. 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 BCKP file with the Ad-Aware application.
Step 3. Update Ad-Aware to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ad-Aware program with the Ad-Aware Quarantined Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BCKP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BCKP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BCKP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BCKP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BCKP 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BCKP files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BCKP 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. It is best to move BCKP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BCKP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BCKP to close. However, some background programs may block the BCKP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
