What happened to SafeZone?????
« on: August 04, 2018, 09:56:55 AM »
In Avast Internet Security 7.0-8.0 There was the option to have SafeZone. Which was basically a Protected Virtual Machine desktop to run *some* applications and web browsers. It protected you from having your screen recorded or from keyloggers.

I've just bought Internet Security 2018 - and it doesn't include it.

I've tried finding a download of Internet Security 7.0 but when opening, it says it isn't compatible with Windows 10.

WHY doesn't the new Avast come with an anti-keylogger or anti-screen cap such as SAFEZONE?????

In short, SZ was replaced by SZB which was replaced by ASB lately.

The problem I have with this is that the original SafeZone was also unable to be screen recorded....

For all the security features with it, why the heck did they not keep it.

I need it ....lol

If you mean an isolated screen desktop, separate from the Windows desktop, it's still there.  It just is not a bundled feature as it was in Avast 7.0.  You must install Avast Secure Browser to have access to the secure desktop.  It's called Bank Mode in AIS 18.5. 

Asyn pointed you to the correct browser you need to enable this feature.
