How to open Z6 file?
The main problem with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed is that the Z6 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that Z6 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the Z6 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZoneAlarm Pro in it.

Programs to open Z6 file
Remember to download programs supporting Z6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with Z6 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the Z6 file still does not use the ZoneAlarm Pro program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 select the desired program. 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 Z6 file.
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The fault may also lie with the ZoneAlarm Pro program, it is possible that ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed requires a newer version of the program. 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 Z6 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 Z6 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to Z6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the Z6 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected Z6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the Z6 file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular Z6 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted Z6 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 Z6 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the Z6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
