Is there any information that I can give you for the unspecified error popup ?  Definitely stops GUI running when Secureline is running.  Safe Zone works from the right click menu which then appears to re-enable GUI.  Also from the right click menu about Avast opens the GUI 

Additional finding:

Stopping Secureline, changing location and then restarting produces a blank red toaster and the following error

Same problem here.
What's worse is that once I was disconnected, I also had no internet access.....

On a second computer Widows 8 Pro 32 bit, I get the following error:

It's on WiFi at our Senior Center. Could be the Server that's being used but I don't know.

Abbiamo impedito il tentativo di accesso in quanto potrebbe essere opera di un malintezionato. Esamina i dettagli del tentativo di accesso:

also when I disable secureline, sometimes I cannot visit some webpage (eg. http://translate.google.com/ NO, http://maps.google.it/maps?hl=it&tab=wl YES) :o
