Have you updated from beta build (e.g. 1086) or from offical release version (1000) ?

Terminate all virtualized processes and try to cleanup web sandbox: Real-time shields/Sandbox/Expert Settings -> Web browsers -> delete content, does it help?

Cleaning the sandbox content helped to fix my chrome problem, but when i use programs that calc data and am asked to save it the sandbox will not let me save data. Is there a way to save program data in a sandbox.....Bob

I'd like to simulate it here -- which program for calculating data do you use? Which application doesn't let you save data? Thanks.

the programs are my astrological ones that I create charts for. I have several for professional use and none save the data in sandbox.

Can anyone explain why avast sandbox might block the saving of data to be calculated in a program? I am open to any suggestions...Bob

pk offered his help, he is a developer. He asked you about which particular programs - you did not answer that.
