I'm running 7.0.1426 on several XP Pro systems, with AutoSandbox disabled, because I just couldn't get it to boot consistently. Right now all is cool and Sandboxie is being used for the un-trusted/questionably sites/downloads.
After reading the previous 20 pages of this thread, I wouldn't touch this release with a 10' pole. So, I can't really "add" anything to the conversion here. My question, for those who know more than I do, is simply "Should I simply turn off notification of new Avast versions, and never update the program again on XP?" Does anyone think they will EVER fix this stuff?
