How to open SMTMP file?
The main problem with Trojan:Win32/FakeSysdef Folder is that the SMTMP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SMTMP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SMTMP 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 avast! Antivirus
In this case, you should first verify that the avast! Antivirus application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing avast! Antivirus into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SMTMP files.
Programs to open SMTMP file
Remember to download programs supporting SMTMP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of avast! Antivirus with SMTMP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SMTMP file still does not use the avast! Antivirus program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SMTMP file with the avast! Antivirus application.
Step 3. Update avast! Antivirus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the avast! Antivirus program with the Trojan:Win32/FakeSysdef Folder 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 AVAST Software a.s. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMTMP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The SMTMP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SMTMP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SMTMP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SMTMP 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 SMTMP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SMTMP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SMTMP 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. Copying the SMTMP file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SMTMP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
