How to open ZLN file?
The most common problem when using ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed PCD is that a specific ZLN is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ZLN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZLN 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the ZoneAlarm Pro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZoneAlarm Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZLN files.
Programs to open ZLN file
Remember to download programs supporting ZLN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZLN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZLN file to open in the ZoneAlarm Pro application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 ZLN 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The fault may also lie with the ZoneAlarm Pro program, it is possible that ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed PCD requires a newer version of the program. 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 ZLN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ZLN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 ZLN file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZLN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ZLN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZLN 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZLN files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 ZLN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZLN to close. However, some background programs may block the ZLN file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
