A computer virus/worm is a small self-replicating program that is primarily designed to harm the data saved on the hard drive. A virus is competent enough to delete and corrupt any file, including a BKF file. Once a BKF file is corrupt, it becomes difficult for the user to access the data saved in that file. The user can easily identify that the BKF file is corrupted when s/he views weird characters instead of the original data saved in the table.

Another way to determine virus infection is by running an anti-virus program. In such situations, if the user wishes to access the data saved in the BKF file, then he needs to restore the data from another backup. However, since BKF files already contain backup of all the data, the probability of users maintaining another backup file is very rare. In such cases, the user needs to repair the BKF file by using an advanced third-party BKF Recovery software.

Few most common viruses that corrupt your BKF files are Egg, INIT1984, ILOVEYOU, Rabbit, and Scores. Each virus has its own limitations, for destroying the BKF file. After your BKF file is corrupt, you may find:

The file does not display the data at all.
The file displays file with characters that can not be understood.

To prevent your BKF files from being affected by a virus attack, you should always take the below preventive measures:

Always have an updated anti-virus software installed in your system.
Never attach a virus infected hardware to your system.
Never download files from the Internet before scanning them.

However, if the BKF file is already corrupted, then you need to opt for advanced BKF Repair software.

A MS Backup Recovery software uses advanced scanning procedures to thoroughly scan the corrupt BKF file and to save it at required location. The file repair tool comes with a detailed user-manual that makes it easily accessible without any prior technical knowledge. It is completely non-destructive and does not harm the original data saved in BKF file.

With repair of all BKF files created in Windows XP, 2003 and 2000 NTBackup utilities, the MS Backup Recovery utility also repairs files developed using Backup Exec application by VERITAS and Symantec. It supports Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000.
