However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VIIVO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected VIIVO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VIIVO file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.

Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move VIIVO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VIIVO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
