Recap:  SafeZone Browser either does not work (appears) or hangs on a specified url and never connects:   hxxp://program.avast.com/api/?action=2&p_elm=15

Running MBAM2 as a free (standalone scanner) does not cause these issues.

Malwarebytes Pro Website Protection is probably conflicting, have you tried disabling.

Proposed fix here:  http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=146135.msg1075232#msg1075232  (Note at the time it was still a beta, and a part of the fix was uninstallation of MBAM2 trial)

It has not been re-installed as trial, but will be, as a free stand-alone scanner, later.

This may sound redundant but...did you make any mutual exclusions?

So, not an issue that can readily or properly be fixed with workarounds.  (See post # 1 for originating Safe Zone Browser Topic.)
