How to open BSIG file?
The most common problem when using Clam Antivirus Binary Signature Format is that a specific BSIG is not associated with the program. This causes the file BSIG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BSIG 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 Clam AntiVirus
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Clam AntiVirus is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Clam AntiVirus into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BSIG files.
Programs to open BSIG file
Remember to download programs supporting BSIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Clam AntiVirus with BSIG files
If, despite the installed application, the BSIG file does not start in the Clam 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BSIG file with the Clam AntiVirus program.
Step 3. Update Clam AntiVirus to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Clam AntiVirus program, it is possible that Clam Antivirus Binary Signature Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Clam AV website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BSIG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The BSIG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BSIG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BSIG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BSIG 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 BSIG 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BSIG files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BSIG 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BSIG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BSIG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BSIG to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
