I’m having trouble with Avast Safe Zone starting for no reason with Avast Free 7.0.1451
This morning I downloaded Pirate Speak as a language just for laughs, and noticed it seemed to download an awful lot of stuff just for another language. Now every few minutes Safe Zone starts, and, while I’m not having any trouble exiting, it’s getting really, really annoying.
How do I permanently turn off this feature which I do not want?
Webrep plugin will be able to switch some URLs (e.g. banking sites) to SafeZone (in Pro/AIS only). We didn’t finish this feature, but it’s already implemented partially in avast. Webrep sent invalid requests which cause SafeZone switch.
Just wanted to chime in and mention that I’m experiencing the same problem myself. I’ll be doing something outside a browser (most recently playing Portal 2 while Firefox was minimized) and suddenly I’ll be looking at 6 newly opened blank browser windows in SafeZone. No trouble closing them, but it’s happened two or three times already since the update today.
Pk, you mentioned that the issue will be addressed in the next update. What should we do in the meantime? Do we just continue closing the windows when they open or is there something else we ought to be doing?
:(Having major problems with safeZone, hating it right now, can’t wait to get rid of it, it’s controlling my browser and opening a thousand windows. No way to disable it? >:( I don’t have webrep and I purchase this.
