Sources of AVC Problems

Common AVC Opening Problems

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Removed

You attempt to load your AVC file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The AVC File Extension". Customarily, this means that Kaspersky Anti-Virus is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your AVC file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your AVC file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus is Out-of-Date

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus installed that's incompatible with your Kaspersky Virus Database File type. Installing the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus from Kaspersky Lab is recommended. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of AVC file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: Not having the right Kaspersky Anti-Virus version on your computer can cause problems opening AVC files.

Other AVC File Opening Causes

You can still experience errors opening AVC files even with the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus installed on your PC. If you're still experiencing problems opening AVC files, there could be other computer problems. Additional factors include:

• Invalid AVC file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• Corruption of the AVC file description inside the Registry
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the AVC format
• AVC file corruption
• Malware-tainted AVC file can't be opened
• AVC-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Windows cannot load your Kaspersky Virus Database File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
