The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QUICKENDATA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected QUICKENDATA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.

Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the QUICKENDATA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QUICKENDATA to close. However, some background programs may block the QUICKENDATA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
