However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file C3 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected C3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the C3 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
