Hi,
I unticked Secure browser in installer. Can you please explain me, why you still force me install it after each my Smart scan? There is no decline button, only X for close whole window. Thank you.

This version still blocking Thunderbird automatic updates in Windows 10.

Pop-up firewalls are often not-responding after updates, before the update there was never a problem.

There is nothing that can be done other than force restart the computer, can't end-task in task-manager.

This is very annoying, please fix it.

Since the update, the secure browser insists on loading on startup (Win7ProAMD) even when I set it not to.  Even after I unchecked it in MSconfig startup, it still starts the first time I log into my non-administrative account.  Since it still has a slider to control this feature, I assume this is a new bug.  Quite annoying when I'm debugging code and don't want a browser to open every time I reboot.
