How to open LIK file?

The most common problem when using Trojan.Win32.Agent.lik is that a specific LIK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LIK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LIK 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 Norton AntiVirus

In this case, you should first verify that the Norton AntiVirus application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Norton AntiVirus into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LIK with Norton AntiVirus. Below is a list of programs that support the file LIK.

Step 2. Create association of Norton AntiVirus with LIK files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LIK file to open in the Norton AntiVirus application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Norton AntiVirus application as the default for handling the LIK file.

Step 3. Update Norton AntiVirus to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Norton AntiVirus program, it is possible that Trojan.Win32.Agent.lik requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Symantec Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LIK 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LIK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LIK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LIK 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 LIK files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LIK files. 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 LIK 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the LIK 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LIK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
