Thanks for the response

I followed those suggestions but still no downloader icon…plus the safebrowser icon has disappeared from my task bar

Any other thoughts?

Remove the SafeZone Browser completely and install it again.

Thanks Eddy

How do I remove the Safe Zone browser component without removing avast?

Hi Folks.
I am having a similar problem. Have used repair. Have reinstalled the entire suite. Nothing. And yes it was fine up til a few days ago. I am not even sure how to use the advice above about “getting a ticket” but if the person who first posted this query has received a response to their ticket… could you please share what the official response has been?
Or anyone else who knows. It is the primary reason I use Safezone as my default. Thanks

It would not surprise me if it has to do with he way the downloader detects if there is a video and the changes YT has made (not using flash anymore, but html5)

Mmmm… but what we can do?

-Instal some additional soft (java or somethin like this… not quite sure, i’m not it worker)?
-Change some Avast options?
-Back to piracy (… and the bottle of rum!)? ;D

Anyone know… the official position from Avast (if we have any)? Or it just like allways: “no one knows what is realy happens so just hold on and pray”.

RE
Wait a second… oh, silly me, I just remembered: yep - they skip to html5… BUT!.. this is happened some time ago (i’m not pretty sure - when, BUT not a few days ago - much earlier).

So… i dont think that html5 - it’s a sourse of a problem.

I raised a ticket after having some issues with Avast support not recognising that I have a valid license!
No response to the YT issue but I tried Safezone again this morning and the downloader button did re appear for a few videos only.

I suspect that Avast will be constantly playing catch up with an ever changing YT ‘backend’.

Reported to Avast. Let’s see if we get a reply as to the status of this problem.
