Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The WLPGINSTALL file extension is associated with possible computer malware on Microsoft Windows. It is not a normal user document and may be handled internally by antivirus software.
The format is linked to Avast Antivirus and Panda Antivirus Pro. Its data is related to the antivirus detection process rather than to a general-purpose application.
This format is obsolete. Use an antivirus suite such as Avast, Norton Antivirus, or Panda Antivirus to protect your computer against malware. The recorded MIME type is application/x-wlpg-detect.
A wlpginstall file is not intended to be opened manually. On Microsoft Windows, let Avast Antivirus or Panda Antivirus Pro handle it as part of a malware detection or quarantine process.
Do not run the file as an application. If it appears outside the antivirus software's own folders, scan it with up-to-date security software instead of opening it directly.
A wlpginstall file contains antivirus-related detection data, so it has no useful conversion to a standard document or media format.
Keep or remove it through the associated antivirus software rather than trying to convert or rename it. The obsolete format is not intended for export.
