How to open VI1 file?
The main problem with Kaspersky Anti-Virus is that the VI1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VI1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VI1 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 Kaspersky Anti-Virus
The first step is to check if the computer has the Kaspersky Anti-Virus program installed. To do this, enter the name Kaspersky Anti-Virus 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 VI1 files.
Programs to open VI1 file
Remember to download programs supporting VI1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kaspersky Anti-Virus with VI1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VI1 file to open in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus application, but you can set it manually. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VI1 file with the Kaspersky Anti-Virus application.
Step 3. Update Kaspersky Anti-Virus to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Kaspersky Anti-Virus program, it is possible that Kaspersky Anti-Virus requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Kaspersky Lab website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VI1 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VI1 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VI1 file. However, remember that not every infected VI1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VI1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VI1 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Kaspersky Lab, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VI1 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the VI1 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VI1 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
