How to open YBM file?
An often recurring problem with Ad-Aware 2007 is that YBM is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file YBM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YBM 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 Ad-Aware PRO
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ad-Aware PRO is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ad-Aware PRO in it. 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 YBM files.
Programs to open YBM file
Remember to download programs supporting YBM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ad-Aware PRO with YBM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the YBM file to open in the Ad-Aware PRO 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the YBM file with the Ad-Aware PRO program.
Step 3. Update Ad-Aware PRO to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ad-Aware PRO program with the Ad-Aware 2007 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 Lavasoft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YBM 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 YBM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the YBM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the YBM file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover YBM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of YBM 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.
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 ability to automatically repair YBM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Lavasoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted YBM 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. It is best to move YBM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YBM file again. However, some background programs may block the YBM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
