How to open ZM2 file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZM2 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

Programs to open ZM2 file

Remember to download programs supporting ZM2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZM2 files

If, despite the installed application, the ZM2 file does not start in the ZoneAlarm Pro application, you must create a file association. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ZM2 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fault may also lie with the ZoneAlarm Pro program, it is possible that ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed MDZ Format requires a newer version of the program. 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 ZM2 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The ZM2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZM2 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZM2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZM2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZM2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged ZM2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZM2 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.
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 ZM2 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ZM2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
