Bank Mode is an Avast Secure Browser feature that provides a virtual desktop that acts as a clean and secure computer on your real PC. The Virtual Desktop in Bank Mode protects you from malicious scripts being inserted, keystrokes being logged and screen shots being attempted from third-party applications. We recommend that you use the bank mode whenever you want to access the bank’s website or make an online payment.
Avast Bank mode may not work due to an outdated version of Avast Secure Browser or Avast Antivirus. In addition, a damaged installation of Secure Browser or Windows may result in the specified error.
The problem occurs when a user tries to start the bank mode but doesn’t do it (in some cases the computer hangs up). When the bank mode is started, a gray / white / black window (without an input option) is displayed and does not respond, or an empty screen is displayed without a browser option.
Is the Avast Bank mode safe?
Of course, before you start using Avast Bank Mode, you want to know if it is safe to use. Yes, Avast Bank Mode is one of the safe options you can use to protect your bank information.
After activating the bank mode, a virtual office will open where you can login or access your bank account. This virtual desktop mainly protects you from various infections, such as malicious scripts, keystroke logging, and attempts to create screen shots of third-party applications. There are several methods that cybercriminals use to try and steal your bank information because they live off it. They provide various links and extensions that you do not know about and thus steal all the basic details. However, sometimes third party applications continue to take screenshots and steal details.
This way, you can protect your system from all these suspicious features and in turn protect your banking information. However, you may want to know how to install and use it in your system. You should also know that to use it, you will need a secure Avast browser and an Avast security system.
