    agreed avast is just so light on any system i have tried it on even a old celeron laptop with only 512mb of ram avast didnt even make a difference in how it ran. i was pretty surprised by it actually

    +1. I got it too.

    But after reboot, open avast and press "fix" it. Everything will be functional.


    EDITED: I also encountered the same problem with xandros regarding the webrep. Think their servers are overload this few days. o_O

    I think it happens if you have sandboxie with drop my rights enabled. After the installation the ''fix it'' solves the problem

    You should be able to use them together. I am not using AV at the
    moment but last year I had Avast for about 4 months, it never had
    an issue with Sandboxie.

    Avast and webrep work great with firefox 4.0.1 and it runs so light on my system.

    I would especially since at this point Mamutu is better than Avast's behaviour shield.

    Hmm, there is option to remove the BB module as well? didn't knew that, this is available via custom installation right?

    auto sandbox won't work without behavior shield though right? Personally I'd rather streamline things and just run Avast fully configured.

    I use Avast on my old laptop and runs great, 2 services, about 28mb ram use, low I/O due to the cache, good performance in AV comparatives, has an auto-sandbox, its the best IMO.

    Besides that, I got hooked on Safe Zone and the Auto Sandbox. I may have to sign up for Avast rehab!

    Not true. The Sandbox is part of the File Shield. I use avast! Free, without the Behavioral Shield, and my Sandbox works as intended when tested by the avast! Sandbox test tool.
