How to open T$M file?

The main problem with AVG Internet Security Temporary Format is that the T$M file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that T$M files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the T$M 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 Internet Security

In this case, you should first verify that the AVG Internet Security application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing AVG Internet Security 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 T$M files.

Programs to open T$M file

Remember to download programs supporting T$M files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of AVG Internet Security with T$M files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the T$M file to open in the AVG Internet Security application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AVG Internet Security application as the default for handling the T$M file.

Step 3. Update AVG Internet Security to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AVG Internet Security program with the AVG Internet Security Temporary Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the AVG Technologies (Grisoft) website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the T$M file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the T$M file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the T$M file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected T$M files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the T$M files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged T$M files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Grisoft
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted T$M 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move T$M to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the T$M file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
