What is WWA file?
The file in the WWA format belongs to the Archive Files category. Archive Files consists of 619 similar files. WebSite-Watcher Archive is most often found on 1 operating systems.

How to open WWA file?
The main problem with WebSite-Watcher Archive is that the WWA file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WWA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WWA 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 WebSite-Watcher
In this case, you should first verify that the WebSite-Watcher application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WebSite-Watcher in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WWA with WebSite-Watcher. Below is a list of programs that support the file WWA.
Programs to open WWA file
Remember to download programs supporting WWA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WebSite-Watcher with WWA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WWA file to open in the WebSite-Watcher 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WWA file with the WebSite-Watcher program.
Step 3. Update WebSite-Watcher to the latest version
If, however, after binding WebSite-Watcher with WebSite-Watcher Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Aignesberger Software GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WWA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to WWA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 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 WWA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WWA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WWA 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WWA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WWA 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WWA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WWA file again. However, some background programs may block the WWA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
