How to open LUE file?
The most common problem when using Norton LiveUpdate Log Format is that a specific LUE is not associated with the program. This causes the file LUE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LUE 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 Internet Security
In this case, you should first verify that the Norton Internet Security application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Norton Internet Security into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file LUE.
Programs to open LUE file
Remember to download programs supporting LUE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Internet Security with LUE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LUE file still does not use the Norton Internet Security 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. 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 Internet Security application as the default for handling the LUE file.
Step 3. Update Norton Internet Security to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Norton Internet Security program with the Norton LiveUpdate Log 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 Symantec Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LUE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LUE file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LUE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LUE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LUE file. 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 ability to automatically repair LUE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Symantec, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LUE 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 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 LUE file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LUE file again. 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.
