What is NIL file?
The file in the NIL format belongs to the Graphic Files category. It was designed by Symantec Corporation. In addition to this file, the Graphic Files category includes 524 related files. Norton Icon Library is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Norton Internet Security. This was created by Symantec Corporation.
How to open NIL file?
The most common problem when using Norton Icon Library is that a specific NIL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NIL, 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 NIL 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Norton Internet Security in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support NIL files.
Programs to open NIL file
Remember to download programs supporting NIL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Internet Security with NIL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NIL file still does not use the Norton Internet Security program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NIL file with the Norton Internet Security application.
Step 3. Update Norton Internet Security to the latest version
If, however, after binding Norton Internet Security with Norton Icon Library there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NIL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NIL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NIL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NIL 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 NIL files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NIL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symantec Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NIL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move NIL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 NIL file again. However, some background programs may block the NIL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
