How to open VI2 file?
The main problem with Kaspersky Anti-Virus is that the VI2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VI2 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 VI2 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed on the computer. 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 VI2 files.
Programs to open VI2 file
Remember to download programs supporting VI2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kaspersky Anti-Virus with VI2 files
If, despite the installed application, the VI2 file does not start in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VI2 file with the Kaspersky Anti-Virus program.
Step 3. Update Kaspersky Anti-Virus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Kaspersky Anti-Virus program with the Kaspersky Anti-Virus file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Kaspersky Lab page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VI2 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 VI2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VI2 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 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 VI2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VI2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VI2 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 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 VI2 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VI2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move VI2 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VI2 to close. However, some background programs may block the VI2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
