File type: Various data file
A zly file extension is related to the ZoneAlarm Mailsafe, an e-mail protection software. A zly file stores renamed WSH data.
File type category:
Various data file
Date updated: August 21, 2019
The zly 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 zly file extension originally had WSH file extension (Windows scripting host 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 *.zly file extension back to WSH 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.
Probably cannot be converted to anything else.
