Bank Mode does not work since last Update

Bank Mode on Win XP 32 shows strange behavior after updating to the new Avast Internet Security on Tuesday February, 7th.

  • Sometimes it opens but won’t let you enter any digits for 20 seconds into the account credential boxes
  • Sometimes it opens but pastes weired characters to the input boxes and does not accept any input
  • Sometimes it does not open at all

Before the update it worked fine

Any idea what went wrong with this update?

hi,

have the same problem, seems to be a softwarebug (may be the reason is the special keyboard-driver used in banking-mode??). There seems to be no solution available at the moment. So I reinstalled my old Version (12.3.2280 build 12.3.3154.33) and banking-mode runs fine again.

Use the special avast removal tool (avastclear.exe) for deinstallation. Look for fragments of elder installations and delete them manually. Use an offline installation file (avast_internet_security_setup_offline.exe).

And after all that: deactivate the automatic updatefunction.

notice: of course that´s no final solution - an official bugfix is required.
