@DraKuL please wait until you clean your SZ browser (private data) or reset the safe zone, as I'm pretty sure that your current data will be needed to investigate.

I reset it a several times before reading your post.. Still get the same result though.. by the way I took more pics of Yahoo, youtube and what happens when I search facebook on the address bar.. When I access Bing.com I get the same result as Yahoo but the name is changed to Bing..

1000% a problem with the secured DNS at Avast.
Which is not good at all.

Hoping for an explanation - soon.

jesus ;D ... guys I'm not sure if it will intercept the SZ browser traffic, but could try installing fiddler2 and see what you get in the log when you run SZ chromium, then if you got anything save the log and upload it here...

edit: yes it works

OK, I checked and I'm also having this problem.  I used it a few days ago and it was fine.  Did some banking so I sure hope I didn't send personal info to hackers which is now all around the world.

One other thing is that SZ is a little dim and not as bright as normal.

I noticed a pretty big difference between "now" and "then".. Earlier the browser did not load automatically - I had to click the icon and wait for about 10seconds for it to pop up, and now it loads immediately, and as soon as I access the SZ the browser pops up..

I already said I didn't get the problem.

 Okay don't know what that means, Fiddler intercepts the traffic from SZ Chromium and shows a few DNS requests failing

Are you still having this problem? My SZ seems to be ok now.. And yeah it was a bit dimmer than normal (dont know if it has anything to do with whats going on though- the brightness I mean)
