How to open VBT file?
The main problem with Spyware Doctor Temporary Scan Format is that the VBT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VBT 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 VBT 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 Spyware Doctor
The first step is to check if the computer has the Spyware Doctor program installed. To do this, enter the name Spyware Doctor into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support VBT files.
Programs to open VBT file
Remember to download programs supporting VBT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spyware Doctor with VBT files
If, despite the installed application, the VBT file does not start in the Spyware Doctor application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 VBT file with the Spyware Doctor program.
Step 3. Update Spyware Doctor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Spyware Doctor program with the Spyware Doctor Temporary Scan Format 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 PC Tools website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VBT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VBT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VBT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VBT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VBT file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VBT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use PC Tools help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VBT 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.
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 VBT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
