How to open OZD file?

An often recurring problem with Win32.TrojanDownloader.Agent.OZD Trojan Format is that OZD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open OZD, 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 OZD 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 Avast Antivirus

The first step is to check if the computer has the Avast Antivirus program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Avast Antivirus in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OZD with Avast Antivirus. Below you will find a list of applications that support OZD files.

Step 2. Create association of Avast Antivirus with OZD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OZD file still does not use the Avast Antivirus 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Avast Antivirus application as the default for handling the OZD file.

Step 3. Update Avast Antivirus to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Avast Antivirus program with the Win32.TrojanDownloader.Agent.OZD Trojan 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 AVAST Software a.s. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OZD 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to OZD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OZD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OZD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OZD 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OZD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OZD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the OZD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 OZD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OZD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
