I'm glad you're able to open a site in Bank mode.
I can't.

I can't.

My suspicion is that the banking site is opening underneath Bank Mode in normal Browser (can happen if set up that way), and that's what's being seen when "Switch Back" is chosen.
Hence a screenshot request.

It's curious.

Hi guys, just a quick update on the hot reported bugs in this version:

- BSOD - sorry for the inconvenience, this will be fixed soon (early next week, so far we are not auto migrating users)
- Bank mode - issue found, fixing now, thanks for reporting
- More AvastUI.exe running - that is OK (e.g. UI & tray icon, etc.)
- MailShield issue - looking into that...

When this is all fixed up, do you suppose the offline installers can be synced?

Can you provide a Screenshot of your Banking General Website open in "Bank Mode"?

Pfff, the first time I created a screenshot for a forum

Some don't like visiting unknown links at 3rd party sites.

I allowed Avast to download and install this update, but have not restarted PC yet. Is there any way of avoiding the update from taking effect until a solution is found?

Haven't seen it reported by anyone else yet...

I updated to this version using the update process in Avast on three computers. all were updated successfully, but on two  computers ( I haven't tried the third computer yet) I cant create a rescue disk because Avast is saying that imagex.exe in the Microsoft folder at C:\Program File(x86)/Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\x86\DISM\imagex.exe is malware/Ransomeware/a virus and that it's trying to access/overwrite sensitive files.

This is the Microsoft Imaging Utility.

I've scanned the file with AVAST and Malware Bytes and both say the file is OK.

I've temporarily turned off Ransomware Shield and  Sensitive Data Shield, and loaded the file as an exception, but the problem still exists.
I've also sent a false positive report to Avast about this file and the error.

Has anyone else had this problem with this latest update?

(stupid question time) Can Rescue Disks (USB) created on one computer be used on any other computer, or only on the computer it was created on?
I currently create separate rescue disks for each of my computers and are wondering if that is required.

I also find another bug that i think someone already reported in beta, but still remains in stable.  The virus definitions number on section: about are not correctly presented since they should be the same as the vps update.

Regards,

Yes, I reported it during beta-testing and can confirm that it isn't fixed yet.

Why release new versions that still have problems; some already detected in beta?
For the moment I rely on Defender integrated into Windows 10 Security!

In the safezone browser, the bank mode also turns grey. But if you click on go back in the lower left corner, your bank will appear. Maybe you should try that out.

I'm not sure that the message of your capture - which I was able to reproduce by configuring the automatic opening link in bank mode - indicates that you are really in bank mode?
It simply indicates that it was automatically opened in the bank mode(on the other window), but you are no longer there since you left it using the lower left corner.
You have returned to your browser in normal mode,so you have to click on the orange banner to return to bank mode... and the link is not here.

On w7u64 the new version (update came yday 11am GMT) causes some programs not to start anymore.
The error message is:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application."
Only uninstalling avast completely with avastclear.exe alleviated this, just removing the behavior shield did not fix it.
This does not happen when using another (respectfully not named here) antivirus (which has 100% detection and 0 false positives).

In future, please include a feature that does allow to roll back the last program/signature update and wait for the following and name a reason why the user rolled back. This would allow you to keep users and to learn much more specifically what happened, since only a few users will make an effort to post here.

Thank you!

(w7u64) What new version are you talking about?

My suspicion as I mentioned earlier (Reply #47) was that the OP had returned to 'normal Browser' ( Avast Secure Browser) which is open "under" Bank Mode and is no longer in Banking Mode.
Running in Avast Secure Browser is NOT the same as being in Bank Mode.
A bit of confusion by the OP I suspect.

Edit: Bank Mode is still not functioning on any of my machines

In Bank Mode, you also can't capture a screenshot. You actually need to take a photo of the screen.

"In Bank Mode, you also can't capture a screenshot. You actually need to take a photo of the screen".

That's correct Bob, that is why I wanted a screenshot which seems to show Avast Secure Browser open, not Bank Mode.
