Avast SafeZone is a secure browser from a well-known antivirus manufacturer. The main objective of it is to prevent unauthorized access to data and to provide users with a safe online experience.
Programs under the program's protection are classified as follows: This level is always active, which means you can check for potentially dangerous sites with low reputation (ratings are based on data from Avast Internet Security firewalls) as well as malicious code and Java code. Additionally, the browser's security has been built in so that the user cannot take any action unaccustomed to that: Neither viruses nor extensions can alter the home page by themselves. Also bear in mind that Flash is disabled by default. While most video applications make it easy to download video in high quality, the browser is not. The one click solution provides Flash support in one step if at all necessary.
As an alternative to conventional environments, virtual isolated environments can also be used. In cases where essential data must be transmitted over an organization's network and should not be divulged to a third party, this mode provides security. Those websites that have security policies, password management services, personal information from household cabinets, etc., automatically launch virtual environments when visiting the pages of major banks and a few other popular sites. Users can run this program on many of these same sites manually by clicking the corresponding icon on the URLs Virtual isolated environment provides protection from keyloggers, Trojans and utilities that create impressions of RAM.
Avast SafeZone uses Gecko as the web page output engine, so users accustomed to Mozilla Firefox will not find much difference in the browser interface. A new secure browser has been developed since early 2018 on, and the developers cancelled continued development of the web project at the end of 2017.
