Updated to 6.0.1367 via the program notification (not the installer). That is the only change to this system in 1 or 2 years, except updates. SpywareBlaster updated around the same time as Avast!, on the 2nd of December, I think.
Now Sandboxie ver 3.52 will not open IE8. Usually freezes, using 50% of CPU, Sometimes IE8 will open but then opening a second tab freezes it again with CPU = 50%. Won't stop running until I kill it with Process Explorer ot Task Manager. Sometimes another instance of IE8 opens automatically even after killing the running one.
Blackhawk browser opens and runs fine sandboxed. MBAM (ran once & uninstalled) and Avast give no malware alerts.
I know that is an old version of Sandboxie, but then this is an old system. It has worked perfectly for several years. Wxp home sp3, Avast!, Sandboxie, PowerShadow, SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster, all worked well together until the Avast! update.
A workaround is to turn the Behavior Shield in Avast! off. Everything works OK then: IE8, Blackhawk, new tabs, open links, etc. All of it. So I guess the Behavior Shield in the new version is causing the problem.
Any thoughts?
