Programs to open ZLO file
Remember to download programs supporting ZLO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZLO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZLO 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. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ZLO file with the ZoneAlarm Pro application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZLO 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:
The ZLO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZLO file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZLO file. Sometimes virus-infected ZLO 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 ZLO files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZLO 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 ZLO 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 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. It is best to move ZLO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ZLO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZLO to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZLO file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
