Does Sandboxie and Avast! 6 conflict?

Im thinking about getting Sandboxie as Ive heard many use it alongside the free Avast!

But lately, I`ve heard that Avast! 6 WebRep conflicts with the Sandboxie, something with Firefox crashing and so on.

I wanted to make sure if that is true, and wether that happens with Google Chrome too or not?

Since I`m eager to test out this Sandboxie and see if its as good as it says ;D

avast 6 free does not have a sandbox. It should not conflict with Sandboxie. Even the avast AutoSandbox won’t interfere.

I use two computers one running XP 32-bit and the other Windows 7 64-bit. Updating both the computers to version 6 I found that I had a problem with using the Sandboxie “run web browser sandboxed”. Sometime the browser would load on the XP computer but I could never get the Windows 7 64-bit computer to load Internet Exporer or Firefox, in the end I restored both computers back using a backup image. Using Avast (free) version 5 everything works perfectly with sandboxie.

Thats kinda dissapointing, it means that Avast 6 doesn`t work well with Sandboxie, cant something be done with this? :confused:

No, it means that Avast 6 and Sandboxie doesn’t work on MY computers - I’ve searched around and can’t find any know problems with Avast 6 and Sandboxie, that either means the problem is with both my computers, or not many folk uses both Avast 6 and Sandboxie, or no one else is having a problem. Maybe someone else that uses both software programmes can come up with either the solution, or have had success running them together, keep your fingers crossed :slight_smile:

Hi,

I use Avast6 and Sandboxie without conflict between the 2. Run XP SP3. Avast6 installed through update. Sanboxie was installed before update of Avast5 to 6.
