How to open ZPF file?
The main problem with ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed Format is that the ZPF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ZPF, 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 ZPF 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.

Programs to open ZPF file
Remember to download programs supporting ZPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZoneAlarm Pro with ZPF files
If, despite the installed application, the ZPF 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. 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 ZPF file with the ZoneAlarm Pro program.
Step 3. Update ZoneAlarm Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ZoneAlarm Pro program with the ZoneAlarm Mailsafe Renamed Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 ZPF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ZPF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZPF 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZPF file. However, remember that not every infected ZPF 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 ZPF files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZPF 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 ZPF 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. If possible, you can try to move the ZPF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ZPF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZPF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
