How to open RHK file?

Step 1. Install Norton Internet Security

The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Norton Internet Security in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RHK files.

Step 2. Create association of Norton Internet Security with RHK files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RHK file still does not use the Norton Internet Security program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RHK file with the Norton Internet Security program.

Step 3. Update Norton Internet Security to the latest version

If, however, after binding Norton Internet Security with Backdoor.Win32.Rbot.rhk Trojan Virus there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Symantec Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RHK file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RHK file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RHK file. However, remember that not every infected RHK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RHK file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RHK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RHK 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RHK file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RHK file again. However, some background programs may block the RHK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
