How to open ZO5 file?
The most common problem when using ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed is that a specific ZO5 is not associated with the program. This causes the file ZO5 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZO5 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. To do this, enter the name ZoneAlarm Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZO5 files.
Programs to open ZO5 file
Remember to download programs supporting ZO5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZO5 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZO5 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ZoneAlarm Pro application as the default for handling the ZO5 file.
Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ZoneAlarm Pro program with the ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZO5 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The ZO5 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZO5 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZO5 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZO5 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZO5 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZO5 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 ZO5 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ZO5 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 ZO5 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
