Programs to open ZL4 file

Remember to download programs supporting ZL4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZL4 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZL4 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ZoneAlarm Pro application as the default for handling the ZL4 file.

Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version

If, however, after binding ZoneAlarm Pro with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed CHM there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZL4 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The ZL4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ZL4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZL4 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZL4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ZL4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZL4 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZL4 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ZL4 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZL4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZL4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
