The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CL2LYT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CL2LYT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.

There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CL2LYT file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CL2LYT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CL2LYT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CL2LYT 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 CL2LYT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CL2LYT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
