How to open MICRO file?
The main problem with TeslaCrypt 3.0 Ransomware Encrypted Data Format is that the MICRO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MICRO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MICRO 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 TeslaDecoder
The first step is to check if the computer has the TeslaDecoder program installed. To do this, enter the name TeslaDecoder 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 MICRO with TeslaDecoder. Below is a list of programs that support the file MICRO.
Programs to open MICRO file
Remember to download programs supporting MICRO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TeslaDecoder with MICRO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MICRO file to open in the TeslaDecoder application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 TeslaDecoder application as the default for handling the MICRO file.
Step 3. Update TeslaDecoder to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TeslaDecoder program with the TeslaCrypt 3.0 Ransomware Encrypted Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BloodDolly website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MICRO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The MICRO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MICRO file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MICRO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MICRO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MICRO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MICRO files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MICRO files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move MICRO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
