How to open FAG file?

The most common problem when using Win32.AutoRun.fag is that a specific FAG is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FAG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FAG 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 avast! Antivirus

In this case, you should first verify that the avast! Antivirus application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name avast! Antivirus into the 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 FAG files.

Step 2. Create association of avast! Antivirus with FAG files

If, despite the installed application, the FAG file does not start in the avast! 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the avast! Antivirus application as the default for handling the FAG file.

Step 3. Update avast! Antivirus to the latest version

If, despite the association of the avast! Antivirus program with the Win32.AutoRun.fag 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 AVAST Software a.s. website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FAG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FAG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FAG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FAG 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.
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 ability to automatically repair FAG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FAG 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FAG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FAG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
