Yes, it was fixed in 492. If I remember right, the problem was with invalid NTFS streams name handling.

bri, I wasn't able to simulate this problem again (Win7 + IE8/FF). The previous bug was caused by invalid NTFS streams filename parsing so I'm quite surprised you still have this problem... Do you get the same popup error as you mentioned in the first posts?

To simulate the problem, I tried: - create some favs (in IE8/FF), run sandboxed IE8/FF, open those favs, open them in new tabs, create new favs; all worked ok, they haven't been corrupted; should be these tests enough to notice the problem? I'll try that tomorrow with Vista32.

its kinda weird this time as it is only happening with the avast forum fav and not my other favs.also when i close ie8 and reopen i can use the link once or twice before getting that message(popup).as of now its only happening in ie8 not ff.

pk installed ais 5.0.545 and same problem happening on both my computers 64 and 32 bit but only with ie.if it was one of my computers i would say that its something with my computers but both.theres some kind of problem i believe with avast sandbox,rollback and ie since using this config is the only time it happens.hopefully down the line in the future you can investigate this or something.if you need anymore info or whatever let me know,thanks bri
