How to open PKP file?
The main problem with Privacy Killer Plug-in Manager is that the PKP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PKP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PKP 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 Privacy Killer
The first step is to check if the computer has the Privacy Killer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Privacy Killer 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 PKP files.
Programs to open PKP file
Remember to download programs supporting PKP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Privacy Killer with PKP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PKP file to open in the Privacy Killer application, but you can set it manually. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PKP file with the Privacy Killer program.
Step 3. Update Privacy Killer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Privacy Killer program with the Privacy Killer Plug-in Manager 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 SelinSoft website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PKP 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 PKP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PKP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 PKP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PKP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PKP 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PKP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SelinSoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PKP 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the PKP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PKP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PKP file again. However, some background programs may block the PKP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
