How to open ZOX file?
An often recurring problem with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed is that ZOX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ZOX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZOX 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZoneAlarm Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZOX files.
Programs to open ZOX file
Remember to download programs supporting ZOX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZOX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZOX 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 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. 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 ZOX 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. 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 ZOX 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:
The ZOX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZOX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZOX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZOX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZOX files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZOX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZOX 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. It is best to move ZOX to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZOX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZOX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
