Hello Everyone,
I need help with the Sandbox component of the Avast Internet Security Suite. I have version 17.7.2314 installed on Windows 10 64bit, both Home and Pro versions. I also have many browsers installed, the ones I use more often are Firefox 64bit 56.0 and Chrome 64bit 62.0.3202.62.
I setup the Sandbox component so that, in the Web browsers tile, I have the following situation:
Save trusted downloaded files outside the sandbox – unchecked.
Exclusions – Nothing checked.
Cache web browser’s files (sandbox will not be automatically deleted) – unchecked.
When I try to launch the browsers in the sandbox, neither of them work as expected.
Chrome seems to work just fine except that, when I close the sandbox, I find both the history and the bookmarks saved also in the not-sandboxed version of the browser. I expected the changes made on both the history and bookmarks to be dropped closing the sandbox.
Firefox is giving even more troubles. Most of the times, it will not access the internet and, when I try to close the sandboxed app, it will close just for an instant and then open again. I have to restart the PC to clean the sandbox. Sometimes, but very rarely, it will behave as described for Chrome.
Has anyone experienced the same issues?
Thank you for all the help that you may provide.
