BANK MODE DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE OF THE LATEST PREMIUM SECURITY UPDATE.
none of the alternative options to open bank mode offered by support work.
My Temporary Fix for Bank Mode:
The only way I found to keep bank mode, (because this new update has affected the bank mode), working was:
1. I did a system restore to before the new avast premium security update.
2. once the restore completed successfuly, I Opened the avast Premium security app, went to settings and set the program update to "I will update manually"
This allows me to stop an automatic update to this glitched new update.
So far Bank mode stays working for me.
So, I'll wait for avast to fix this issue that's been going for the last 10 days or so.
