How to open NQF file?
The most common problem when using NOD32 Quarantine is that a specific NQF is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NQF, 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 NQF 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 ESET Nod32 Antivirus
The first step is to check if the computer has the ESET Nod32 Antivirus program installed. This can be achieved by typing ESET Nod32 Antivirus into the operating 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 NQF.
Programs to open NQF file
Remember to download programs supporting NQF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ESET Nod32 Antivirus with NQF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NQF file to open in the ESET Nod32 Antivirus application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NQF file with the ESET Nod32 Antivirus program.
Step 3. Update ESET Nod32 Antivirus to the latest version
If, however, after binding ESET Nod32 Antivirus with NOD32 Quarantine there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the ESET, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NQF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the NQF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NQF or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NQF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NQF files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NQF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NQF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the NQF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NQF 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 NQF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NQF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
