The VI2 file extension is used by Kaspersky Anti-Virus to store its Vault Data files. They can contain up to 16GB of sensitive or confidential information which is encrypted using strong algorithms and kept safe by the application. The VI2 files are usually located in the C:ProgramDataKaspersky LabAVP12Data directory. When you open them they appear as empty files, but when you copy them to another location the content that they hold is preserved.
Encryption Features
In order to ensure that the security of the content of the VI2 files is not compromised, they are encrypted using advanced encryption standards such as AES and Triple DES. This provides an additional layer of security to your confidential material which further hels protect it from unauthorized access. Additionally, Kaspersky Anti-Virus also offers a VeraCrypt feature which increases the level of encryption on your data, giving your more peace of mind that it is secure.
Similar File Extensions
Common file extensions similar to VI2 are .VAI, VAA, VAX, VAZ, and .VAP. All of these extensions are related to Kaspersky applications and are all used for different functions.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VI2) 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 .VI2 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 .VI2 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 .VI2 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 .VI2 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VI2 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VI2 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 .VI2 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VI2 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VI2 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
