File extension .DB-
| Full Name | Developer | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Norton Nprotect Database Format | Symantec | Data Files |
The DB file extension is associated with the Norton Nprotect database. This software is used to provide real-time security to a computer's system files, registry entries, downloaded files, email attachments and instant-messaging activities. The DB file extension stores database entries created by the program, which are used for maintaining its security functions.
The DB files created by Norton Nprotect are usually located in the same directory as the program's executable file. In some cases these database files may also be saved in the 'appdata' or 'local settings' folder depending on the version of Windows. The content of this file can vary significantly depending on the version of Norton Nprotect database.
Similar File Extensions
Some other file extensions that are similar to DB include MPDB, GDB, PDB, CDB, and MDB. Each of these file formats is associated with various types of databases such as Microsoft Access Database, Debref Database, Paradox Database, Clarion Database, and Microsoft SQL Database.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DB-) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DB- extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DB- file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DB- extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DB- extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DB- file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DB- file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DB- file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DB- file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DB- file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
