Secure Brower > Bank Mode Freeze Windows
« on: March 30, 2022, 10:05:31 AM »
Dear Avast Forum,
Avast Secure Browser v. 99.0.15283.83 > Bank Mode often, not always, freeze Windows. Sometimes I need to reboot the system, others, waiting a bit, I am able to go back to Standard Desktop where Application Bar flashes for some seconds. I tried several ways... unistalling, updating addons, starting differently, resizing browser window... it seems to be a graphic issue, nothing help. Any advise, please? Thanks

Hello Asyn, thanks for reply, sorry for late.
At last I removed Secure Browser... 'too much', and with some drawbacks, just my opinion.

Your interest much appreciated,
Bartle

Hello Avast forum,

It appears this issue was never resolved. I have the same issue as Bartleboom.

I have used Bank Mode for several years on Win7 Pro without issue. I'm now on Win10 Pro and a new machine (beginning of he year) Now Bank Mode is entirely erratic; sometimes it freezes after a minute or two sometimes five minutes or so. This occurs sometimes in the course of sensitive banking transactions.

There is no way out. I have to do a hard shutdown. I can't even load Task Manager. The cursor becomes inactive. Also, as Bartleboom noted, if one is fortunate enough to close Bank Mode and return to the standard desktop the task bar shudders and a hard edge is on the foot of the  browser page which leaves a gap to the the top of the task bar. This can only be removed by refreshing the page and scrolling.

Does ASB require Virtualization Based Security to be enabled by default or does Avast control it in session?
 
I look forward to your assistance.

Hello again,

Since my post of 8 September there has been no update to this thread providing a way forward. Am I to assume this issue has been addressed or is the solution still a work in progress?

Although it has not been requested, would it be helpful to use the Avast Premium Security Troubleshooting Recorder to provide evidence of process failures in order to diagnose the issue?

I look forward to your advice. .

Hello!
It would be great to get the szb.log from c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\ to investigate your problem.
Thanks in Advance!
Best Regards, Jevgeni!

Hi Jevgeni Soonberg,

It was attached to my original  post on September 8. i note it has been downloaded once so someone must be analysing at it.

Hi Jevgeni.

Any news on an update. It froze again in the middle of a banking transaction again today. Is there any further information I can supply to expedite a resolution?

Regrards, Beammeupscotty

Hi again Jevgeni.

Further to my last post, I just received and update  to my Avast Premium Security (22.9.6034 (build 22.9.7554.734) which specified the following:

Bank Mode in UI Protect your banking details and login information whenever you’re online banking on Avast Secure Browser.

I'm not entirely sure what this means because it provides no information on any fixes or improvements to the previous version. Can I assume that the issue with Bank Mode freezing has been addressed?

I suppose I'll find out soon enough!

Regards, Beammeupscotty

Hello again,

The last update didn't fix the issue with freezing.

I have attached  the log to see if anyone at Avast or a forum member can let me know what the issue is.

At one point I was told by support that Bank Mode didn't work correctly when Avast Secureline was connected. I tested this configuration and it still failed. I never had this issue with Win 7 Pro whilst using the VPN. so the advice from support was incorrect. Also there is no documentation stating this.

Please help! No response to my last two posts! What's going on! This is getting very frustrating.

Hello beammeupscotty,
I reinstalled Avast Secure Browser few days ago with no good news about related issue. I tried with accounts that were not of the bank but I get the same result. Sorry  :-\
