'Setup' keeps randomly asking for a disk

I've cleared my temp folder a few times.. Avast keeps running it in sandbox but only finds it as suspicious, scans reveal nothing. It's Kernel.exe so normal setup stuff from what i've read. My google-fu has failed me, so what do i do?

Now i'm getting "the program can't start because magcore.dll is missing from your computer", so looks like it's something from ArcSoft, maybe from my epson printer or some game IDK. Doing a disk cleanup cleared a fair amount of setup files/error solution messages so that probably fixed it (or a symptom of it..), regclean in progress.

Cheers bro

I get avast randomly running shit in its sandbox, even stuff its never bothered about before. Then it'll just suddenly stop trying to sandbox the program and go sandbox something else. Avast is broken as fuck. I turned off that auto sandbox rubbish.

The trouble with it running in a sandbox is it won't save any chances to the registry so if this program is legit and you install it, once avast unsandboxes it, it won't actually have installed.

I'd say thats it. doing registry clean + other cleans seems to have solved the problem :)

I like how when people buy a new laptop they get norton free for a year, and when the year is up they don't uninstall norton they just chuck kasperspy on the top, and when that runs out they add something else and complain their shit is getting sloooooow.

It slowed my computer down WAAAAAAAAAY too much. I couldn't believe how long it took to load stuff with MS-SE installed.
