Well, it does not BSODed yet, so I can get this information. I’ll keep the computer on and test.
The aswSnx.sys address is: 8BCBB000 and size: 364544
I’ll send the file by email for you. By the way, why is it different from the file you can get installing AIS in your computer?
I can reproduce the BSOD with easy.
It always occur when I try to attach a file (screenshot .png file) to the forums while Firefox is sandboxed.
When I try to upload the file, immediately, the computer BSODs.

Thanks for the file and address - I was able to find the source line where it crashed; it seems our driver deceived invalid filename request, it should be fixed now.

I use internal avast build, which is usually newer than the official build => BSOD address doesn't match in it.
copy them into \Windows\System32\drivers and reboot.
To check if the driver was loaded correctly, execute cmd.exe and type: fltmc and aswSnx must be listed.
If you don’t have right-click context menu, then driver isn’t loaded or GUI wasn’t able to connect with the driver.
New aswSnx.sys driver converts your snx_lconfig.xml file to the format (e.g. all file paths are converted into ??\Volume{xx} guid form). So, if you want to downgrade to old avast version, just delete that file from avast data folder, because old version wouldn’t recognize that file format.
If you get BSOD, just write me BSOD numbers - I’ll be able to find the problematic code without dump.
yes, it’s because aswSnx driver isn’t loaded and therefore it’s not able to hide that folder…
did you try to remove those two files and reboot? did it help?
Seems this make it works after reboot also.
I’m using Firefox sandboxed now, tested the upload of a file, no BSOD.
But, when I open the folder to attach the file (there are a lot of screenshots in that folder), it takes molasses to display the contents. I’m not sure if it is related to sandboxing.
I’ll wait and test a little, then set this issue to “solved”.
