hopefully it does well in my test because if it lets a rootkit again i will never ever recommend this av ever again    

It did well in the tests so far. Avast is a good AV but it is not enough to protect your system on it's own you need HIPS/BB like in the Comodo. And Avast still need to work on it's own sandbox technology.

Yeah,

I run Avast 7 with Comodo firewall. I uninstalled the Avast behavior Shield and disabled the Autosandboxing in Avast and left it up to Comodo to Handle those.

The feature analyzes & detects threats & if doesn't detect threats lets you continue normally. No sandbox here so why the feature is named as autosandbox in Avast?

By the way, is the File Reputation now added for detection in Realtime i.e FileShield of Avast?

If I remember correctly in one of Youtube video I saw a detection wherein the popup mentioned File Reputation detection.
