Title: Avast "SafeZone" ?
Post by: REDACTED on October 17, 2015, 08:29:46 PM

I have tried using Avast SafeZone, and have been presented with the option of using SafeZone when signing in to a sensitive (banking) website, but, it never works!
It either just sits there with nothing happening, or, immediately flashes the warning:

Whoa! Avast SafeZone browser has crashed. Relaunch now?  (I'm not exactly sure of the wording, as many times as I have seen it. Relaunching just produces the same warning over and over again.)

I guess SafeZone is something for my protection on sensitive sites, but what good is it if it always and immediately crashes?

Is there some special process to enable SafeZone?

Updated to latest version, as recommended, but continue to get "crash" message.
