Hi,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

We are currently working on this issue, and we hope to release a fix as soon as possible.

In the meantime, could you try this temporary workaround, please?
Go to Avast → Menu → Settings → Troubleshooting and enable passive mode. Then reboot the PC, and check if Bank Mode is working and disable passive mode again.

Thanks, I will try the suggested fix.

It is not a fix; it is a temporary “workaround” that has its own security risks
The real fix has been found and will be distributed through an update very soon.

I’m surprised that a workaround that has security risks is being suggested from Avast. :frowning:
