The REL (Norton Internet Security Log File) file extension is used by Norton Internet Security software to store application logs that are related to the program. The log files are primarily used to store information such as detailed records of when the software was updated, an overview of certain program features, and other diagnostics related to the Norton Internet Security. The.REL file extension typically contains transactions stored in plain text format and includes details such as version numbers, objects, source locations, and process-times.
Applications like Norton AntiBot, Norton Antivirus, Norton 360, Norton Ghost and Symantec Endpoint Protection also uses the REL (Norton Internet Security Log File) for application transactions. REL files are generated by programs like these during regular application usage. However, REL files generated within each program varies in content; A REL file created by Norton Antivirus will have different information than a REL file created by Norton 360. Aside from the.REL format, similar file extensions such as.LOG,.ACT, and.HIS are also used for logs.
Uses
REL files are usually found within the directory listed below:
C:Documents and Settings[User Name]Application DataSymantec[Product Name]Logsfilename.relThis directory is accessed whenever a user wishes to review or receive data from their program's log files. Additionally, Mac OS X users may access their REL files from:
/Users/[User]/Library/Logs/Symantec Solutions/Norton Internet Security/Logs/filename.relREL files may also be used for archiving purposes once the user has modified or deleted the original program's log files.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .REL) 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 .REL 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 .REL 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 .REL 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 .REL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .REL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .REL 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 .REL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .REL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .REL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
