Sources of LIK Problems


Frequent LIK Opening Issues

Norton Antivirus Not Present

Double-clicking your LIK file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open LIK File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Norton Antivirus installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your LIK with Norton Antivirus, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your LIK, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Incorrect Norton Antivirus Version

Sometimes your installed version of Norton Antivirus won't support your Trojan.Win32.Agent.Lik Data file. Download the latest Norton Antivirus version from the Symantec Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Trojan.Win32.Agent.Lik Data file was created by a different (newer) version of Norton Antivirus than what's installed.


Tip: Investigate your LIK file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening LIK files are due to having the incorrect version of Norton Antivirus installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading LIK Files

Even with the correct version of Norton Antivirus installed, you can still experience difficulties opening LIKs. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening LIK files. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for LIK
  • Deletion of the LIK file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Partial installation of Norton Antivirus that did not fully complete
  • The LIK itself is corrupted
  • Your LIK has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware related to LIKs has device driver corruption
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Trojan.Win32.Agent.Lik Data file
