Avast Sandbox

The sandbox still gives me trouble.

Chrome crashes and Avast browser extension, LastPass, and AdBlock Plus all crash.

After removing the extension the browser fails to load.

Avast Pro 12.3.2280

see attached.

I just installed the beta and it seems to be ok. I’m going to keep testing using the beta.

Hi Criostoir, thank you for your report

For two reasons :

Your second screenshot shows the problem I have with Opera, which is like Google Chrome also a Chromium based browser.
From what I know from the Petr Kurtin ( the original Developer ) nothing has changed in the Beta, so I am curious why it is working for you now.

Greetz, Red.

Well, I just reinstalled the beta and it’s not working. If nothing has changed, then that means it’s going to be broken with the new release. That’s disappointing.

Here is a video of Chrome not working.

Yes disapointing :-\

But at least we know now there is indeed something wrong.
Two questions :

Are you you able to run the the Avast SafeZone browser in the Sandbox ?
Can you please provide info about which Windows version ( also x32 or x64 ) and other security software you use ?

You can post or pm me, and I will forward it to Petr Kurtin.

Greetz, Red.

Yes, the Avast SafeZone browser runs fine in the sandbox.
Windows 10 Pro, Version 1607, OS Build 14393.693, x64
Other security: WinPatrol WinAntiRansom Plus, Windows Firewall Control 4, MBAM 3.0.6.1469 (on demand only).
Google Chrome version: Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) with LastPass, AdBlock Plus, and Avast Online Security extensions.

Thanks

This is an issue that needs to be sorted…

The sandbox isn’t working on any Chromium browsers.

Charyb-0 · 2017-02-07T15:18:53.000Z

This appears to be working. Will you please verify if it is running OK for you?

Rednose · 2017-02-07T15:40:14.000Z

Nothing has really changed though.

I had the same experience with sandboxing Opera in the past : With an installation it didn’t work, the next it worked, and the next it didn’t …

Bump… I expect a reply from the dev responsible of the Sandbox.

I would like to hear something like, “We are aware of this and working on it”.
