CERBER3 File Complications


Common CERBER3 Opening Problems

Missing Kaspersky Anti-Virus

When you double-click your CERBER3 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Kaspersky Anti-Virus for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the CERBER3 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your CERBER3, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Outdated Kaspersky Anti-Virus

It is possible that your version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus isn't able to open your Cerber Ransomware Virus File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Kaspersky Anti-Virus version from the Kaspersky Lab website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Cerber Ransomware Virus File file was created by a different (newer) version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus than what's installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your CERBER3, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Summary: Not having the right Kaspersky Anti-Virus version on your computer can cause problems opening CERBER3 files.
