How to open Z4 file?
The most common problem when using ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed is that a specific Z4 is not associated with the program. This causes the file Z4 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the Z4 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 this case, you should first verify that the ZoneAlarm Pro application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ZoneAlarm Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open Z4 files.
Programs to open Z4 file
Remember to download programs supporting Z4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with Z4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the Z4 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the Z4 file with the ZoneAlarm Pro application.
Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ZoneAlarm Pro program, it is possible that ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Z4 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The Z4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to Z4 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the Z4 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover Z4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the Z4 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged Z4 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file Z4 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move Z4 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the Z4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
