Step 1. Install ZoneAlarm Pro

Programs to open ZOB file
Remember to download programs supporting ZOB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZOB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZOB 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 select the desired program. 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 ZOB 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The fault may also lie with the ZoneAlarm Pro program, it is possible that ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed requires a newer version of the program.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 ZOB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ZOB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZOB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZOB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZOB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ZOB 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.
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 ZOB 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 ZOB 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 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 ZOB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ZOB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
