Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZL5 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZL5 file to open in the ZoneAlarm Pro application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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.

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

The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts.

However, remember that not every infected ZL5 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ZL5 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZL5 file corruption.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZL5 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ZL5 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZL5 file again. However, some background programs may block the ZL5 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
