fd2015 Posted August 27, 2015 ID:985660 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I use Avast Internet Security, which comes with "Safezone" for secure browser run.. When I run "Safezone", it starts Chrome and when I verify, MBAE protection for chrome, I don't find any dll injection for it.. I then added a shield for Safezonebrowser.exe in MBAE and then ran "Safezone".. I now find, mbae.dll injection for "safezonebrowser.exe".. The question is, 1. When "safezonebrowser.exe" is injected only with 32 bit 'mbae.dll", will it protect chrome (which under standalone run gets injected with "mbae64.dll")? Can I use Avast's "Safezone" or should I avoid it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted August 27, 2015 Staff ID:985696 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Isolated or sandboxed browsers are an effective protection as well. They don't prevent exploitation but they try to contain it. If I were you I would use one or the other, not both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fd2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Author ID:985705 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks.. With protection prime, I will avoid it..But, is there a way to add MBAE protection, under this isolated run, say like SBIE run? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted August 27, 2015 Staff ID:985708 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yes you can run MBAE and SBIE. Guidance in the FAQs:https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/136424-frequently-asked-questions/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fd2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Author ID:985712 Share Posted August 27, 2015 SBIE would need a added tool to be run, but since isolated browser runs, r now a feature of AV's (Avast's "Safezone", Bit-defender's "Safepay" etc.), it is abt MBAE protection of the browser under this AV's isolated run? Will the same principles of SBIE apply? Thanks.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted August 27, 2015 Staff ID:985714 Share Posted August 27, 2015 We don't pretend to support sandboxed/isolated browsers. With SBIE the guidance is from technical users that have tested it and made it work through the template published in the guidelines. Btw I can see you are @tinkle and the other username that I've banned twice already. Please behave this time if you want to stick around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I use Avast's "Safezone" or should I avoid it? For what it's worth.I've been using Avast Premier on my xp OS for years and have always had MBAE installed (and previous name versions) and have never been attacked or infected and both installations have served their purpose. I use SafeZone all the time for Banking/financial data.SafeZone Browser is an iscolated environment and my understanding is, with an Avast variation of Chrome (but is not Goggle Chrome). This environment is meant specifically for banking/finanacial transactions and not designed for Browsing.Running your Browsers in Avast "SANDBOX" is meant for Browsing.https://www.avast.com/en-us/faq.php?article=AVKB44#idt_404 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
