File type: Various data file

Various data file

The ZM5 file extension is associated with ZoneAlarm, a personal firewall software, originally created by Zone Labs and currently developed by CheckPoint Software Technologies LTD.
One of ZoneAlarm features is MailSafe, which detects e-mail attachments and warns the user about their presence. When a potentially dangerous attachment is detected, the program quarantines the file with simple renaming of its original file extension, so it breaks the common program association function in Windows and prevents such files from being executed (or launched via associated program).
A file with ZM5 file extension originally had SCF file extension (Windows Explorer shell command file). Simple renaming will restore the Windows associations with such file, however it is not advised, unless you are absolutely sure it safe to do.
You can rename the ZM5 file extension back to SCF and work with the file normally. This can however be potentially dangerous, because the file was quarantined for a reason. So always re-check it with your anti-virus or anti-spyware programs before you rename the files.

The zm5 file extension is associated with the ZSNES, an emulator for Super Nintendo Entertainment System video gaming console, available for Windows, MS-DOS and Linux systems.
The zm5 file stores recorded movie.
Use ZSNES to work with *.zm5 files.
Probably can be exported to other formats.
