Dear Avast,
when I try to run Avast Secure Browser inside Sandbox:

  1. Directly from exe… it does nothing
  2. When I set in Sandbox → Add App it shows the window: This App cannot run in Sandbox

Tried from both User and Administrator Account

Thank you,
Bartle

Hello again,

So, the answer from developers is that the Sandbox deliberately prevents the execution of Avast Secure Browser, as the secure browser is equipped with its own sandbox feature known as “Bank Mode.”

Bank Mode is a feature in Avast Secure Browser and Avast Antivirus that provides a virtual desktop, which acts as a clean, safe PC within your real PC. The Bank Mode virtual desktop protects you against the injection of malicious scripts, keystroke logging, and screenshot attempts by third-party apps. We recommend using Bank Mode each time you want to access a banking website or pay online.

Dear JosefK,
thanks for the reply, it’s very kind of you. Jan wrote to me about the incompatibility between ARM and Sandbox but that wasn’t my case.

Interesting news which solve the arcane.
I would have preferred to have two distinct Profile but nothing to say… Avast Browser remains the best choice for my needs

Thanks you very much,
Bartle
