Avast 20
The following was copied/pasted from https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=232420.0
Avast version 20.1 is here
(20.1.2397 build 5069)
These are the official program release notes:
- Browser extensions - Improve your browsing with our latest extensions (just open Menu > Browser extensions)
- Fewer popups - If you already have Avast Cleanup Premium, you’ll no longer see offers for it (sorry about that!)
- Improved statuses - The status messages you see on the main screen are now easier to understand
- Fixed Rescue Disk - You can now use Rescue Disk again to restore your PC from advanced attacks
- Other bug fixes - We’ve stomped dozens of other bugs to keep everything running smoothly
- Fixed problem with logs not correctly rotating (logs had hundreds of MB in some cases)
- Fixed issues in Smart scan that performance scan does not find any problems
- Fixed issue with stuck Smart scan
How to install:
1. Update from your existing Avast version via Settings -> Update -> Update program
2. Or you can download and install from here:
Free OFFLINE installer: http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
===========================================
Remark: The offline installer is 373 Mb, which includes many avast modules/products that, in my opinion, are not essential for an "anti-VIRUS" program. I suggest that anyone installing from scratch opt for a CUSTOM installation, carefully choosing only those modules/products that they actually want.
I continue to use a 2+ year old version of avast, 2018, on my XP system, and am very happy with it. I have NOT tried newer versions of Avast, nor do I plan to at this time. I'm running Panda Dome 18 on my primary Win10 system, and Windows Defender on my Win 8.1 tablet.

Hi, new Avast version 20.2 is here
(20.2.2401 build 5130)
These are the official program release notes:
✓ Password Protection - This new feature automagically secures passwords saved in your browsers. Find it in your Privacy menu (Premium Security only)
✓ New statistics - Check out your security stats by clicking My statistics in the top-right menu
✓ Improved Firewall - We’ve added more fire to the wall for better stability (Premium Security only)
✓ Bug fixes - We've stomped a few pesky bugs to keep things running smoothly
✓ Coronavirus scam protection - Avast continues to protect you against phishing scams, including ever-increasing COVID-19 scams and malware
How to install:
1. Update from your existing Avast version via Settings -> Update -> Update program
2. Or you can download and install the OFFINE installer from:
Free: http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
==============================================
Remarks: Looking only at page 1 of the avast forum thread, we see numerous complaints about problems with the avast firewall (which "fortunately" is only included in the paid versions). I have not looked over the remainder of that long, multi-page thread to see what else is going wrong.
As noted in my previous post, I continue to use a 2+ year old version of avast, 2018, on my XP system, and am very happy with it. I have NOT tried newer versions of Avast, nor do I plan to at this time. I'm running Panda Dome 18 on my primary Win10 system, and Windows Defender on my Win 8.1 tablet.
Having said all this, be advised that I no longer intend to cover avast and its updates here.

Be advised that I was simply reporting on the availability of avast updates here.
Since I'm not using a current version of avast, I'm not in a position to offer help on features (Bank Mode) of their current Secure Browser [and I'm sure anything I might be able to say about the 2+ year old "SafeZone" browser on my XP system may no longer be applicable].
The best thing for you to do is (join and) post in the Avast Secure Browser forum https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=78.0
Unfortunately, I've found (in the past) that many of the people responding there may not be helpful... Good luck.

To enable Avast "New Bank Mode" feature you can follow the below steps to activate it.
Enable
OR
Troubleshoot
If you bank mode feature is not working you can update your extension and enable it again.
A confirmation message will appear once the extension updated. Then you can try to activate your "Bank Mode" feature
For more detail guide on "Bank Mode" I found an article on Avast, you can check for further instructions
https://support.avast.com/en-ph/article/Use-Bank-Mode/
Also found a useful video on YouTube

You can also open a ticket on Avast support forum for further help.
For some basic software and browser guide you can check http://techcollaborative.org/ site. As their support is amazing for solving tech related issues.
