How to open ZOA file?

The most common problem when using ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed is that a specific ZOA is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ZOA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

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

In this case, you should first verify that the ZoneAlarm Pro application is installed on the computer. 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZOA.

Programs to open ZOA file

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

Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZOA files

If, despite the installed application, the ZOA file does not start in the ZoneAlarm Pro application, you must create a file association. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZOA 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 there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 ZOA 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ZOA file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZOA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZOA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ZOA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZOA 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 ZOA 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 ZOA file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
