How to open SNU file?
The most common problem when using AVG Anti-Virus is that a specific SNU is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SNU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SNU 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 AVG Antivirus

Programs to open SNU file
Remember to download programs supporting SNU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AVG Antivirus with SNU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SNU file still does not use the AVG Antivirus program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 SNU file with the AVG Antivirus program.
Step 3. Update AVG Antivirus to the latest version
If, however, after binding AVG Antivirus with AVG Anti-Virus 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 AVG Technologies (Grisoft) page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SNU 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 SNU 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SNU or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SNU file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SNU 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SNU file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use AVG Technologies (Grisoft) help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SNU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 SNU file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SNU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SNU file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SNU file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
