Safezone browser slow

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi All,
I’ve been using Safezone for a while now and it is really slow. If I click on my bank site for instance, I wait about a minute for the site to access. Is there an adjustment I can make or is it just slow by nature? :stuck_out_tongue:

Try Opera as browser. It may speed-up things a lot.

I’m talking about my Safezone browser that is included in Avast Pro, not my regular browser. My regular browser is Firefox that is fast.

Have you read TIHS?

Hi Eddie, All I see is a chart. What am I looking at?
Your reference to a previous thread talks about safezone switching. Not a problem for me. Just painfully slow accessing links in my bank site.

The Safe Zone browser sometimes takes a few seconds to completely resolve the proxies it runs through to make it secure. I have found that it’s better to wait until it displays the default Avast page before trying to go anywhere else. Then it’s very fast.

Dch48 - I wait for the default page as well. It seems like it might be my bank’s fault as the few other sites I have on Safezone aren’t that slow to respond. The bank site comes up at a normal rate but after I sign in and click an account it takes for ever. :stuck_out_tongue: The only thing is, that my bank loads fast in my Chrome and Waterfox browsers.

I just checked and the speed in the Safe Zone and in IE9 for my banking site is just about the same.

The link is to another thread on this webboard. If you see a chart, there really is something wrong with your system. Infected? It could be.

Firefox fast? If you really believe that, you have no clue what a fast (and safe) browser is.

Update: After further investigating I find that Safezone IS the culprit. Besides the problem above, after I exit SafeZone, windows I access are sometimes about a third the size of the screen. F11 doesn’t help, and the only way to fix is to restart windows. It was suggested I reinstall Avast, so I’m going to wait to install V8, and not use SafeZone in the mean time.

Try this: open GUI → Additional Protection → SafeZone → Settings → Reset SafeZone → restart PC

Thanks for the suggestion, but I’ve tried that twice.
