How to open LOK file?
The most common problem when using W32/Rbot-WE Log is that a specific LOK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LOK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LOK 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 BitDefender
The first step is to check if the computer has the BitDefender program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BitDefender in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support LOK files.
Programs to open LOK file
Remember to download programs supporting LOK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BitDefender with LOK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LOK file still does not use the BitDefender program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 BitDefender application as the default for handling the LOK file.
Step 3. Update BitDefender to the latest version
If, however, after binding BitDefender with W32/Rbot-WE Log there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Softwin website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LOK 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 LOK 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LOK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LOK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LOK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 LOK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LOK except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the LOK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
