Banking protection keeps popping up unexpectedly

masipila

Hi,

 

I've been lately (maybe already some months now) been experiencing with the following problem:

1. I log in to my bank and Banking Protection is enabled as expected.

2. I log out from my bank and I end the Banking Protection

3. I continue working normally

4. After a while, banking protection is automatically enabled even though I did nothing that I would expect to trigger the Banking Protection to be enabled.

 

Is there a log somewhere which I could investigate on what triggered the Banking Protection to be enabled?

Hello,

 

Sorry for my reply. I'm also only F-Secure user (their Home solutions);

 

Probably... possible to find certain log with Banking Protection trigger's information, but I able to think that more good to contact direct F-Secure Support channels (chat/phone) for certified help and proper advices:

https://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/contact-support

Good to create fsdiag (and transfer it to Support);

As my own potential suggestions:

 

--> Good to know about "browser" and "Browsing Protection extension" (enabled/disabled)?

Previously was troubles with Firefox and 'fresh tabs' (where can be listed 'previous opened' Banking websites; Firefox did connection to this 'tabs/shortcuts' /maybe for re-fresh picture-screenshot/ and Banking Protection session started. But this is only my own opinion; Some releases before it was noted as fixed trouble);

 

--> If your experience about 'just' random time of this.. maybe trouble with 'active' process (?!) for previous opened tabs. Previously... Banking Protection was ON until 'process' closed/ended; But this is also was fixed (?!);

 

--> Also maybe some of websites contain links to banking/payment websites and if 'F-Secure extension' is disabled (or with some situations -> enabled) - possible that this will trigger Banking Protection session;

So -> if Banking Protection sessions started with opening certain website (good to re-check this website about background's resources as potential trigger);

 

Thanks.

Hi masipila,

 

After you close the banking session, do you still see the banner?

 

Does the Banking Protection banner pop up only for a specific website which you browse or does it pop up for any website (after you close the Banking Protection banner)?

 

I also found a KB article here which mentions what happens when Banking Protection does not turn off automatically on Bank logout. Do you happen to see this scenario?
