Step 1. Install ZoneAlarm Pro

Programs to open ZMA file
Remember to download programs supporting ZMA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZMA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZMA file still does not use the ZoneAlarm Pro program, it means no 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZMA file with the ZoneAlarm Pro program.
Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding ZoneAlarm Pro with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed RAR there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 ZMA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ZMA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZMA file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 ZMA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZMA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZMA file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZMA 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZMA 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ZMA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZMA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZMA file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
