However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MSCG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MSCG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.

The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MSCG 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MSCG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MSCG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MSCG to close. 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.
