Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ITV or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ITV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.

There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ITV file corruption.

Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ITV file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ITV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
