Below you will find a list of applications that support Z1 files.

Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Antivirus with Z1 files

If, despite the installed application, the Z1 file does not start in the ZoneAlarm Antivirus application, you must create a file association.

The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the Z1 file with the ZoneAlarm Antivirus application.

Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Antivirus to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Z1 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The Z1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to Z1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 Z1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected Z1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the Z1 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular Z1 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted Z1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the Z1 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the Z1 file again. However, some background programs may block the Z1 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
