I have an Avast Free Version 9.0.2011 issue, using Win XP and IE8. After days of comparing three of my machines (same os/ie, where one works and the other two don’t), the only difference is my “good” machine has vers 9.0.2008.
As with others who have posted in this thread, I am a long-time user and avid fan of Avast. But with the advent of 2014 software, I’ve experienced numerous, time-consuming problems, from installation to execution. This is killing me! I, too, would like a link to some previous versions.
Anyhoot, try this on a WinXP, IE8, AvastFree 2014.9.0.2011 cornputer: go to my bank’s website - https://www.bankatunion.com/home/home. Then under Business Banking, click Login. Then type anything into the three fields (co id, user id, user pw) and click Log In. I get a Done or Error in the bottom left of the IE window. You should get a new page saying your credentials are bad (which I do with vers .2008).
I hope this repeatable error will help you solve my problem. Thanks!
I forgot to post that when you get to the screen with the three fields and F5-Refresh the screen before entering/clicking, it seems to work. Maybe this will help with diagnosis.
More follow-up: it is definitely vers 2011 that causing this particular problem. I removed vers 2011 and re-installed the previous 2008 version and the problem went away! I ask all XP/IE8/vers 2011 users to please take a minute, try this website example of mine, and report your success/failure.
