How to open LEGION file?
The most common problem when using Legion Ransomware Affected Data Format is that a specific LEGION is not associated with the program.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LEGION 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 AVG Decryptor for Legion

Programs to open LEGION file
Remember to download programs supporting LEGION files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AVG Decryptor for Legion with LEGION files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LEGION file to open in the AVG Decryptor for Legion application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LEGION file with the AVG Decryptor for Legion program.
Step 3. Update AVG Decryptor for Legion to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AVG Decryptor for Legion program with the Legion Ransomware Affected Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the AVG Technologies (Grisoft) page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LEGION 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. Usually this applies to LEGION files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LEGION file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LEGION 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 LEGION 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.
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 LEGION file corruption. 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LEGION 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LEGION file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LEGION to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
