How to open SBE file?
The most common problem when using Spybot Excludes is that a specific SBE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SBE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SBE 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 Spybot - Search & Destroy
The first step is to check if the computer has the Spybot - Search & Destroy program installed. To do this, enter the name Spybot - Search & Destroy into the system search engine. 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 SBE files.
Programs to open SBE file
Remember to download programs supporting SBE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spybot - Search & Destroy with SBE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SBE file to open in the Spybot - Search & Destroy 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SBE file with the Spybot - Search & Destroy program.
Step 3. Update Spybot - Search & Destroy to the latest version
If, however, after binding Spybot - Search & Destroy with Spybot Excludes there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Safer-Networking Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SBE 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:
The SBE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SBE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SBE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SBE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SBE 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SBE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Safer-Networking Ltd. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SBE 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. Copying the SBE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SBE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SBE file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
