My Avast! uppgraded itself recently to a anew version. This resulted in semi random BSODs when compiling code in DBP. Every now and then when i compile some code, there pops up an Avast window saying that it is running Application.exe in a Virtual Sandbox and after about 5 seconds it either asks me what to do, or it goes BSOD. quite annoying actually. im 99% sure that its Avast that is the culprit so i mainly posted this here to warn others. But anyone happen to know a fix?

Avast version 120229-0

thanks

At present my Avast doesnt seem to be causing any isues. I guess it could be to do with the type of code your comipling if it thinks it might be viral?

it sees all code as suspicious. Its not the code itself, i think it just sees it as suspicious to create a new exe.

making the TGC and /Temp folders exceptions doesnt help...

Definitely a bug in Avast, how could it be anything else? To cause BSOD you usually have to be at a very low level integrating directly with the OS, which is exactly what anti virus does.

IMO most anti virus are rubbish, slow your system down and require too much attention - so I use ESET NOD32, which doesn't bother me and doesn't slow my system down

Sometimes antivirus is worse than actual virus. I have Kaspersky and just cant make it stop checking my project folder. Sometimes i have to compile several times per minute and each time KIS slows running fresh exe for pair of seconds. 2 seconds * 10 runs = 20 seconds of frustration.
