First, I have Avast Premier installed on 3 computers. A couple days ago, I fire up the computer only to find that Avast Secure Browser is missing. In it's place is this new Avast Safe Browser. No warning, no notice and NO PERMISSION. It's been changed on all my computers.
After pissing away 3 days trying to get the ASB upgrade to work, I found your answer here. I tried it and it worked....only so far. All my bookmarks disappeared, password manager won't work with it and now I have to setup access to the minor little luxuries in life like banking, bill paying and so forth. Everyone of them has to send a verification code. However, while in bank mode, I can't check email to get the code without shutting down bank mode. As soon as I do that, and then return to the setup page, the verification code is no longer any good so I try several times with the same result. Since you were able to explain how to get bank mode to work, and I really appreciate that, can you now tell me how I'm supposed to overcome this problem with checking email while in bank mode??
There are some things I wish they had left alone but then I'm just a lowly paying customer so I guess I have no option but to accept some lousy changes (I'm being sarcastic after wasting 3 days trying to get ASB to work. I'm extremely frustrated)
I also noticed that the default search engine is yahoo. Who's bright idea was that. It won't even let me change the default search engine. I refuse to use anything to do with yahoo. My passwords and info were compromised a few years back due to a security breech that they tried to hide. Cost me a bloody fortune to protect myself from identity theft which happened 3 times over the next year or so.
Before I forget, I'm using win 7 pro 64 on 2 computers and win 7 home premium 64 on the third with Avast Premier on all 3.
Would you have any suggestions I could try to overcome this situation. Preciate any help you can give.
Take care
