How to open IFM file?
The main problem with Brighterion IPrevent Fraud Model is that the IFM file is incorrectly associated with programs.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IFM 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 iPrevent

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support IFM files.
Programs to open IFM file
Remember to download programs supporting IFM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iPrevent with IFM files
If, despite the installed application, the IFM file does not start in the iPrevent application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IFM file with the iPrevent application.
Step 3. Update iPrevent to the latest version
If, despite the association of the iPrevent program with the Brighterion IPrevent Fraud Model 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 Brighterion website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IFM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the IFM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IFM file. Sometimes virus-infected IFM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IFM file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IFM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Brighterion
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IFM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move IFM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IFM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IFM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
