Never knew it wasn't working, why doesn't Avast check for its status? Re-installed, and everything appears fine, except it fails to protect from AutoSandbox Test Tool.
I get "NG machines are ready to use." and "CmdConditionsMetWrapper done (result: 0x00000000, bNotMet: 0x00000000)" in the end. And the log looks fine overall (see attached).
I did import my settings and custom installed w/o Mail Shield (use webmail), Avast Remote Assistance (unneeded), SecureLine (paid-only), GrimeFighter (paid-only), Rescue Disk (unneeded), and Avast gadget (unneeded). That shouldn't matter though, cause the rest including NG is installed.
