The v11 changelog reports: Removed: Secure Browser Websites redirection, replaced by Secure all browsers protection

I am not sure what this means, I suspect the net result is that the Secure Browser is going away. Please tell us more about its replacement and provide some background. Thank you.

It means that the Eset previous feature which auto detected Eset predefined financial web sites and opened a new browser window in Banking & Payment Protection mode has been eliminated. This processing was the case in previous Eset versions when the Secured all browsers option is disabled.

Current Eset release options are either enable Secure all browsers option, or manually open a Banking & Payment Protection mode browser session via Win desktop Eset B&PP icon.

For years we have been telling clients "ESET is protecting you by opening your bank's website in a Secure Browser", has this protection gone away?

To receive equivalent protection you need to enable Secure all browsers option for Safe Banking & Protection per below screen shot. In this mode, the Eset supported browser is in essence running in permanent Banking & Payment protection mode.

Also note that the previous redirection to Banking & Payment protection mode only worked for select financial web sites previously defined by Eset; not all such classified web sites.
