Avast Safe Zone conflicts with Sandboxie

[c0ltran3]

I have a conflict between Sandboxie and Avast Safe Zone

I usually use Windows 7 (64 bit) with

Kaspersky PURE 2.0
Sandboxie
Appguard
Comodo Firewall

On demand
F Secure 2013
Emisoft Antimalware
SuperantiSpyware
Without any problem.
Recently I installed Avast 7 (only Safe Zone) and immediately Sandboxie has stopped. On the contrary Avast Safe Zone works well.
Can you help me to solve my problem?

I guess the best is to wait for tzuk feedback from your cross posting at sandboxie forum:

Why on Earth would you need to use both. Of course they would conflict.

Speaking of SafeZone, does yours allow you to print while its on? Mine doesn't, and I'm told by Avast support it's a known bug which will be fixed in the next upgrade. Looking at the RC changelog, I don't see the fix.

My interest is the future (or lack of future) for Sandbox products in the world of W8.

As I understand it Sandboxie itself will not work to the maximum in 64 bit windows 8 setups.

If Windows 8 comes with it's own sandbox functionality these standalone products sandboxies like Avast's or Sandboxie's may just not be needed.

If anybody here KNOWS I would sure like to read about it.

Not now but, like Tzuk says, hopefully it will in the future. Read the last sentence.

Yes, I read that as well. The key word of concern is "hopefully".
It would be good to know what has to happen to make it YES it will either work with W8 or W8 includes the function.

We wait in W7 til it is clear.

Even if windows comes with its own sandbox, it will still be cracked by hackers and hence there will be space for third party sandboxing.

and then the 3rd party sandboxies will be hacked..... and the circle is complete

Side notes:
avast! SafeZone is a close environment that nothing gets in (like keyloggers, etc.).
avast! Sandbox is a close environment that nothing gets out (like Sandboxie).

3rd party sandboxes will not be as popular as windows sandbox and thus they will be less likely to be a target.

Maybe, maybe not.

Forecasting is a dangerous game.


Maybe we could have a 3rd party sandbox inside the windows sandbox.
