NEW Avast Version 23.2
« on: March 07, 2023, 02:51:00 PM »
Hi,
Please welcome the newest version of Avasts 23.2.6053 released on March 7th, 2023
Major public announcement:
  • Improvement Bank Mode - Be more secure while banking online with Bank Mode. It stops programs, like keyloggers, from stealing your personal info (e.g., bank login, passwords, and card details).
  • Redesign Immediate detection in Network Inspector – Get notified right away of any network security issue, especially if you're connected to a suspicious Wi-Fi network. The notifications have a new look as well.
  • Improvement Faster File Shield - We’ve improved the speed of File Shield by using Kernel EAs, so it can scan files and programs faster for any malicious threats.
  • Bug fixes - fixed incompatibility with DxO PhotoLab and other software

Major thanks to the team for another successful release!

How to install:

Seems like improved version of Persistent cache?

Kernel EAs allows us to store file context info. This context info serves as cache of operations which should be otherwise done repeatly. Like validation of the file signature or computing file hash.

NO improvements !!! This "new" version is as bad as the previous one.
Avast blocks the access to some apps to use the filedialog. Disabling Avast doesn't solve the issue; the only solution is to uninstall it and downgrade to an older version (while in the same time blocking the automatic update of the app).

File Shield performance improvement is certainly working well on my ancient (2006) Toshiba Satellite Pro P200 Windows 10 Pro x64 device.  An old slow PC/laptop is ideal for ascertaining performance benefits.  I guess that File Shield is the busiest feature in an Avast installation.

I am delighted with Avast Free 23.2.6053.

The new version has updated the Bank Mode within the secure browser but removed all the passwords from the last version.

Any ideas how to get them back without having to tediously do it manually?

Hello,
let me answer to you:

frank_riloaded, can you please tell us more or send us logs from c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log? Please also try to change your default browser to Avast browser and see if the Bank Mode starts working for you again.

Mark136, you mean that passwords from your browser inside Bank mode were removed? I would recommend to use the Sync feature inside Avast Browser to get them synced inside Bank Mode.

Hope this helps!

Setting Avast as default browser does not solve the bank mode issue.

Any solution, please? ::)
