  • Applied latest security patches

Fixes:

  • Better support for importing data from Microsoft Edge
  • Fix for desktop sharing for Hangouts and Google Meet

Hi rocksteady,
new Bank Mode design with fixed big buttons will be released with AV very soon.
We expect this release in a week or two it’s still in testing.

@RuslanS. Thanks for the feedback. It will be good to make full use of Bank Mode again once this is fixed.

Dear gang,

we most kindly got pointed here by Asyn. We now believe us to be posting in the appropiate thread. Thank you.

From no earlier than of June 6, we do get a recurring ‘Windows non-compability’ mssg popping up every 2nd minute. Most annoying.

Related as per mssg to: C: Program Files GUMD967 / GUM853A (alternatively) .tmp AvastBrowserUpdate.exe

We’re on W7 on this rig.

This seems a mssg generated by W7, on a Windows incompability.

Is there a possible fix available? Any help w/ shutting dwn this ever recurring mssg would be much appreci8ed.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure by I am getting the Windows non-compability for Adobe Reader PDF files. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. I did the windows update. Nothing fixes it and now I can’t work since 95% of my job the online part are in PDF files. I swear every time Avast does an update something gets royal missed up. They did an driver update last fall and every since then I have had an error message that shows up several times a day relating to that.

I just need to know what I have to turn off or do to be able to open a PDF file so I can work. I am only getting 16 hours a week right now. I don’t want to miss out on what little money I am getting.

I have trouble with playback videos on youtube while AdBlock is on. Video doesn’t load. Didn’t happened with previous versions.
