How to open ZLS file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZLS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install ZoneAlarm Pro

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZLS files.

Programs to open ZLS file

Remember to download programs supporting ZLS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZLS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZLS file to open in the ZoneAlarm Pro application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ZoneAlarm Pro application as the default for handling the ZLS file.

Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version

If, however, after binding ZoneAlarm Pro with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed SHS there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZLS file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The ZLS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ZLS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZLS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZLS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ZLS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZLS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZLS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ZLS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZLS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZLS to close. However, some background programs may block the ZLS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
