 is being partially blocked by the popular antivirus-software AVAST.
 The webkit plugin fails to load. Avast puts it into a sandbox by default
 because it is: 'not wide-spread enough or has bad reviews'.

Avast's heuristics do that with more obscure software all the time.
I've even had them randomly sandbox fairly well-known games downloaded
from Steam. It might be worth you just disabling some or all of the
heuristics until they manage to reduce the false positives a bit.

The avast sandbox is just that, its a sandbox thats used for testing
out a program to see if its safe, its not a blacklist or anything and
shouldnt affect the plugin's ability to run.
