Hello,

F-Secure Banking Protection is a security feature; for some kind of short description and overview:

• https://community.f-secure.com/internet-security-en/kb/articles/5276-what-is-banking-protection-and-how-does-it-work
• https://help.f-secure.com/product.html?home/total-mac/latest/en/task_D68FA2D7189B4B8DA52585E68C122C92-latest-en#:~:text=Banking%20protection%20protects%20you%20against,you%20visit%20any%20such%20site.

If this is the 'banking protection' which screwing up your computer, then could you explain a bit more what's wrong. Such as access to some websites are blocked. Or something else.

In addition to trouble description, your operating system version is also useful to know (Windows, MacOS, mobile platform, its build number).

There are some KB articles about 'known' difficulties with F-Secure Banking Protection feature:

• https://www.kb.f-secure.com/s/article/Banking-Protection-blocking-redirected-page?language=en_US

Also, there are some optional things like disabling command prompt or some remote access tool while Banking Protection session is active. You can switch them on and off in F-Secure application's Settings.

If this is some other 'banking protection' (like malicious or unwanted advert in web or other sort of unexpected activities) - could you share some screenshot when screwing up happens.

Thanks!
