How to open Z9 file?

An often recurring problem with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed is that Z9 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file Z9 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 Z9 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZoneAlarm Pro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ZoneAlarm Pro into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support Z9 files.

Programs to open Z9 file

Remember to download programs supporting Z9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with Z9 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the Z9 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Z9 file with the ZoneAlarm Pro application.

Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ZoneAlarm Pro program with the ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 Z9 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the Z9 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file Z9 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected Z9 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the Z9 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
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 Z9 file corruption. 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 Z9 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the Z9 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the Z9 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
