How to open RNA file?

The main problem with Malware is that the RNA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RNA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RNA 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the ESET Nod32 Antivirus program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ESET Nod32 Antivirus in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RNA with ESET Nod32 Antivirus. Below is a list of programs that support the file RNA.

Step 2. Create association of ESET Nod32 Antivirus with RNA files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RNA file to open in the ESET Nod32 Antivirus application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RNA file with the ESET Nod32 Antivirus application.

Step 3. Update ESET Nod32 Antivirus to the latest version

If, however, after binding ESET Nod32 Antivirus with Malware there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the ESET, LLC website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RNA file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RNA file. Sometimes virus-infected RNA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RNA 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RNA 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 file RNA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 RNA to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RNA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RNA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RNA file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
