How to open BPS file?
An often recurring problem with BPS Virus Format is that BPS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BPS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPS 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 Norton AntiVirus
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Norton AntiVirus is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Norton AntiVirus into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BPS with Norton AntiVirus. Below is a list of programs that support the file BPS.
Programs to open BPS file
Remember to download programs supporting BPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton AntiVirus with BPS files
If, despite the installed application, the BPS file does not start in the Norton AntiVirus application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Norton AntiVirus application as the default for handling the BPS file.
Step 3. Update Norton AntiVirus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Norton AntiVirus program with the BPS Virus 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 Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BPS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The BPS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BPS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 BPS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BPS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BPS 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.
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 BPS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BPS 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BPS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BPS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BPS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
