| File Description |
File infected with a computer virus that has been renamed by an antivirus software program, such as Symantec's Norton AntiVirus or Avira AntiVir; the ".vir" extension is typically appended to the filename (i.e. program.exe → program.exe.vir) to indicate the file is a virus and to prevent it from being executed.
Removing the ".vir" extension may allow you to open the file, which may also enable the virus to run; therefore, you should not open VIR files manually; instead, it is best to let the antivirus program locate and remove VIR files. |
