If you were after the Windows version (which this topic was about), you didn't say.
If you wanted the ASB for Windows version, the link was in the text, see attached image.
Which was https://www.avast.com/secure-browser 
Here there are more links to download Avast Secure Browser for Mac, Android and iOS on that page.

So why did your update mess up my ability to use bank mode? It was working fine and when I went to use BM it won't load. I switched to another computer running Win 10 and it worked until I updated Windows  ASB and now it won't load there either. GRRR  Don't they check this stuff out thoroughly before they roll it out?

I was having trouble using the Bank Mode too lately. I now realise it has something to do with the updated version of Avast Secure Browser (ASB). The thing is, in order to solve the problem, I uninstalled ASB and tried to reinstall it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reinstall it no matter how many times I tried. Every time I would get a message that the failure of installation has something to do with my internet connection, which works perfectly by the way. I have updated Avast Premium Security on my pc but still, the installation fails every time I try.

So, could someone from Avast team provide me with some guidance about how to install ASB? I would really appreciated it. Fixing the Bank Mode should also be a top priority.

Thanks.

Same problem here too. No Bank Mode. Worked fine until update. I have uninstalled it now and will wait until it is fixed.

Sorry for inconvenience caused.

Thank you, Misha. When I open the developer mode, my version only shows Avast Bank mode 1.2.0.195 and I have no option to update to version 1.2.0.197. Am I doing something wrong or am I too impatient?

I found another post that suggested to click on update several times and it now updated to the .197 version and the problem is fixed. Thank you very much.

Hi
are you sure you don't have "update" button like in my screen ?

I've tried that solution and it doesn't work. I need to pay a number of bills and don't wish to use "standard internet" as I've been the victim of fraud. Hope you can resolve this issue soon.

Please note that I first saw your message 24 hours ago but decided to wait until today to try it again.

What worked for me was the following:



After doing these steps, I restarted the Browser and Bank Mode now works as before.
