How to open ZOW file?
The main problem with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed is that the ZOW file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ZOW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZOW 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZoneAlarm Pro in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ZOW with ZoneAlarm Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZOW.
Programs to open ZOW file
Remember to download programs supporting ZOW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZOW files
If, despite the installed application, the ZOW 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 ZOW file with the ZoneAlarm Pro program.
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The fault may also lie with the ZoneAlarm Pro program, it is possible that ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZOW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ZOW 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZOW or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZOW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ZOW 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZOW 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZOW 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ZOW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZOW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZOW to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZOW file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
