The aswcs file extension is associated with Avast Antivirus, security software from Avast that protects Microsoft Windows computers against viruses and other malware, including spyware.
An aswcs file contains the resources used to change the appearance of the Avast Antivirus graphical user interface. The compressed package is used by the antivirus program rather than opened as an ordinary document.
Its registered MIME type is application/avast-aswcs.
Use an aswcs file with a compatible installation of Avast Antivirus on Microsoft Windows. If the program supports the skin, install or import the file through its appearance or skin settings.
An aswcs file is not intended to be opened directly in a text editor, image viewer, or general archive utility.
An aswcs file is a skin package, so it cannot normally be converted meaningfully to another document or image format.
To change the Avast interface, use a compatible skin package through Avast Antivirus instead of converting the file. Editing or repackaging its contents may prevent the software from using the skin.
