I had to reinstall my Avast Secure Browser to a new hard drive. I had ALL settings backed up from the App Data folder. Copying the settings to new installations worked fine for FireFox, Brave, and Google Chrome Browsers, but for the Avast folder I get “Access Denied” for BOTH the backup folder and also the newly created Avast Browser folder even though I’m the Admin. Any ideas how to fix this?
First, I’m an Avast user and not an Avast Team member. Plus I don’t use ASB
These might help, whilst you aren’t specifically backing up - How to Backup your Avast Secure Browser settings:

- Make a note of where you save the settings so you can restore them.
Also See this which may help getting them back. - You could also try using the Sync service and sync all your data? After reinstalling the browser, you can log in and have all your bookmarks and other data in place. See: https://support.avast.com/article/246/
