disappearing type
« on: July 02, 2019, 06:26:13 PM »
When logging into a sight for secure payment in the secure browser, once I attempt mouse clicks or key strokes, other letters in the window disappear at random.  It is enough so that I can no longer read or decipher what is on the page.  This happens in the secure browser and in Bank Mode, but not in other browsers.  I have re-booted the machine, but to no avail.  Any ideas?

Maybe it's time for a clean install of the Secure Browser
Download the installer from here, https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser
Download the Secure Browser Removal tool from here, https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe
Save your Bookmarks via the Book Marks Manager if you have custom bookmarks so you can import them when you re-install.
Uninstall Secure Browser via Programs and Features - Reboot
Run the removal tool, reboot, run the installer import your favorites if you saved them.
A video to help with the installation: https://youtu.be/r_VLA0HMLQM
Report back if that's solved the problem or not.
