Safezone

[nanajana]

So I reset safezone contents and now when I go into safezone I get the browser up but it is different in that it comes up with google canada as the homepage, don't recall ever seeing a homepage before.  The left hand corner says avast safezone and when I search for "avast forum" it acts as a normal browser in that I have to choose which entry I wish to be directed to.  I can't take a screen shot as I apparently am in safezone. 

I don't recall it ever working like this but when I check on settings on the right side of address bar it shows as safezone.  It looks & acts like the google chrome browser.  Can I assume this is working now and I can trust that I am in safezone?

Cheers,

Firstly Google use geo-location redirection, depending on the IP address used they interpret where that is and display the local version of Google.

There has been one other such topic recently, but that was in the SecureLine VPN product.
See https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=169689.0 for more information on that.

Are you also using the avast SecureLine VPN product ?

@nanajana : The Google Homepage is the default startpage of SafeZone, so that is normal. But I am curious if you are still using the exclusions ?

@David : As you know I live in The Netherlands. With SecureLine I am using the server in Dortmund, Germany. But I have Google The Netherlands as default startpage in SafeZone.

Confirmed by Avast! Evangelist schmidthouse that adding the Exclusions plus a Reset of SafeZone indeed solves this problem
