How to open GEFICKT file?
An often recurring problem with Jigsaw (variant) Ransomware Affected Format is that GEFICKT is not associated with the correct program file.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GEFICKT 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 Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor in it.

Programs to open GEFICKT file
Remember to download programs supporting GEFICKT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor with GEFICKT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GEFICKT file to open in the Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor application, but you can set it manually. 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 Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor application as the default for handling the GEFICKT file.
Step 3. Update Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Jigsaw Ransomware Decryptor program with the Jigsaw (variant) Ransomware Affected Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Michael Gillespie website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GEFICKT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the GEFICKT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GEFICKT file. Sometimes virus-infected GEFICKT 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 GEFICKT files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GEFICKT 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 GEFICKT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move GEFICKT 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 GEFICKT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GEFICKT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
