Avast "SafeZone" ?

I have tried using Avast SafeZone, and have been presented with the option of using SafeZone when signing in to a sensitive (banking) website, but, it never works!
It either just sits there with nothing happening, or, immediately flashes the warning:

Whoa! Avast SafeZone browser has crashed. Relaunch now? (I’m not exactly sure of the wording, as many times as I have seen it. Relaunching just produces the same warning over and over again.)

I guess SafeZone is something for my protection on sensitive sites, but what good is it if it always and immediately crashes?

Is there some special process to enable SafeZone?

  • Which Avast…? (Pro/IS/Premier)
  • Which version…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP…?)

Avast IS

ver. 2015.10.2.2218

OS: WIN 8.1

Update to the latest version (10.4.2233): https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=176600.0

Updated to latest version, as recommended, but continue to get “crash” message.

SZ has been rebuilt from scratch in Avast 2016 Beta.
