Click to expand

A system restart is required after installing ESET Security Ultimate, ESET Smart Security Premium, ESET Internet Security, or ESET Small Business Security to allow the full functionality of the Safe Banking & Browsing feature. Using the secured browser without restarting will protect users from potential security risks, but it will not encrypt the data from keyloggers.


Solution

Devices with ARM Processors

Safe Banking & Browsing is only supported by Firefox and Microsoft Edge web browsers when a device has an ARM processor.

Update your browser to the latest version

To ensure compatibility, the latest versions of browsers may not be supported on the initial release.

If you have updated your browser to the latest version that is not supported, you can open and use the secured browser.

Versions 17.2 and later now support Brave. 

Safe Banking & Browsing ensures that all online transactions are protected in a trusted and secure environment. By default, Secure all browsers is enabled, and all supported browsers start in a secure mode. This enables you to browse the internet, access internet banking, and make online purchases and transactions in one secured browser automatically.
