New Update The one thing i have found different from in Norton from AVG and Avast.

I bought Kaspersky to try their banking mode, but I got the same problem as some other users, Kaspersky froze when I used banking mode. If someone buys Kaspersky for banking protection, buy another program.

That's a very general affirmation, maybe it froze for some reason in Your system, I don't think this is the behavior in the rest or the most of K. the users

Does it freeze in every site?

Norton stands out as the premium brand without a free version—they have good reason to maximize revenue per user. Avast/AVG make their numbers through sheer volume. The new Norton interface was clearly designed to market extra features more.

Norton was also well-known for upselling and pop-ups before the Gen merger. They must be well aware that their userbase is comparatively skewed towards older and less tech-savvy people, whereas Avast and AVG lean towards a more budget-conscious audience.

Avast and AVG still appear to be on par with each other for upselling according to talk around the web.

What used to work for me in blocking the UI ads in the firewall, is no longer being honored. Avast keeps turning it back on to enable ads on the main UI (installed on 2-4-26)
I wonder if it would be different in using NextDNS, which used to block UI.exe ads when I was using AVG?

And which in this case, I'd rather reinstall F-Secure and try a couple options for the at times slow loading of some of my apps.

Everytime I face such glitches in Avast and other 3rd party AVs, I go back for MD.

It only freeze when i do banking. I'm not the only one with this problem.
Kaspersky antivirus (likely Kaspersky Internet Security, Total Security, Premium, or similar) has a feature called Safe Money (or Protected Browser) designed specifically for secure online banking and shopping. It opens banking sites in a hardened, isolated browser environment to prevent keyloggers, screen capture, or other threats.


However, users have reported issues where this feature causes freezes, lags, slowness, or even full system hangs when accessing banking sites. This isn't uncommon and appears in Kaspersky's own forums and knowledge base over the years, including more recent reports.
