How to open NQI file?
The main problem with NOD32 Quarantine is that the NQI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file NQI 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 NQI 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ESET Nod32 Antivirus is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ESET Nod32 Antivirus into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NQI with ESET Nod32 Antivirus. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NQI files.
Programs to open NQI file
Remember to download programs supporting NQI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ESET Nod32 Antivirus with NQI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NQI file to open in the ESET Nod32 Antivirus 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. 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 NQI file with the ESET Nod32 Antivirus program.
Step 3. Update ESET Nod32 Antivirus to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ESET Nod32 Antivirus program, it is possible that NOD32 Quarantine requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the ESET, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NQI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 NQI 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NQI file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NQI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NQI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NQI files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NQI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move NQI 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NQI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NQI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
