How to open DYZ file?

An often recurring problem with Backdoor.Win32.ProRat.dyz Trojan is that DYZ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DYZ 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 DYZ 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 Internet Security

In this case, you should first verify that the Norton Internet Security application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Norton Internet Security into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DYZ files.

Step 2. Create association of Norton Internet Security with DYZ files

If, despite the installed application, the DYZ file does not start in the Norton Internet Security 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DYZ file with the Norton Internet Security program.

Step 3. Update Norton Internet Security to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Norton Internet Security program with the Backdoor.Win32.ProRat.dyz Trojan file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Symantec Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DYZ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DYZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DYZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DYZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DYZ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DYZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DYZ 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 DYZ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DYZ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DYZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
