How to open VET file?
An often recurring problem with VET Antivirus System is that VET is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open VET, 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 VET 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 CA Anti-Virus
The first step is to check if the computer has the CA Anti-Virus program installed. This can be achieved by typing CA Anti-Virus 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support VET files.
Programs to open VET file
Remember to download programs supporting VET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CA Anti-Virus with VET files
If, despite the installed application, the VET file does not start in the CA Anti-Virus application, you must create a file 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. 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 VET file with the CA Anti-Virus application.
Step 3. Update CA Anti-Virus to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CA Anti-Virus program, it is possible that VET Antivirus System requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the CA Technologies website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VET file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VET file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VET file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VET files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VET file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair VET file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CA Technologies, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VET 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. If possible, you can try to move the VET file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VET file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
