Avast Internet Security Safezone and Sandbox are not working

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I have Avast Internet Security ver. 2014.9.0.2018 on a Win 7 64 bit pc. The overall status window for Avast shows everything functional and up to date. I just tried to use the Safezone and Sandbox tools for the first time and neither one works. I get a message saying, “Sorry, the process virtualization feature will be activated upon reboot of the system.” with a click-link for restarting the system. The first time this happened - when I tried to open Sandbox - I went ahead and clicked the Restart link, the computer rebooted, and when I opened Avast and tried to first run Sandbox again then Safezone, I got the same error, for both of the tools. Any help is appreciated.

I have the same problem, but with Safezone, Chrome doesn’t work well. no website opens in chrome safezone!

repairing avast and resetting the safezone didn’t solve the problem.

If that didn’t solve it, this will.

  1. Download Avastclear, Rejzors uninstall tool and the appropriate Avast program edition

Note: It’s important you used the stub online installer from the one I linked… NOT the offline one.

Note: You need to be ONLINE during this install (online installer works in all cases whereas offline sometimes doesn’t)

Avastclear : http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe
Rejzors Uninstall tool: http://rejzor.wordpress.com/avast-cleanup-tool/

  1. Uninstall Avast by control panel [If you don’t have Avast in control Panel go to #4]
  2. Uninstall in safe mode using Avastclear.
  3. Run Rejzors Uninstall Utility in Normal Mode (removes traces avastclear doesn’t) - reboot.
    Check : Once uninstalled check in device manager>view>show hidden devices if there is anything related to avast with a yellow triangle… if so, uninstall it and reboot.
  4. Install the version you downloaded.
  5. Reboot.

Note : If you have a paid license, install it after the reboot at stage 6.
