I was wondering how to get around false positive viruses when downloading certain trainers in avast. Not sure if disabling the sandbox will do it.

Change your A/V! Simple as or just turn it off.

well, I am trying to stick with free av's. I have tried the following and cheathappens cheats won't work with them in the following free antivirus programs:

Bitdefender Free edition antivirus
Comodo Free internet security premium
Panda Free Cloud Antivirus
Avira Free antivirus

The problem only happens for a few cheats (dead rising and assassin's creed latest cheats) for example with avast. Other than that, I can run cheats with avast and it's the best option over windows defender. If you go to av-test.com, they compare av's for use, protection,etc. based on the operating system you are using.

I have no problems whatsoever with Avast using Cheat Happens trainers, rare are the trainers whose download is blocked by Avast, and when it does happen I disable all shields, redownload, enable all shields again.

click the small arrow on the far right side of your task bar (show hidden icons)
right click on Avast icon
mouse over avast! shields control
select amount of time to disable shields

Thanks,Dstates. I appreciate it.

if I ever play dead rising 2 or assassin's creed, I am going to have to keep the shields off during gameplay. Because it downloaded fine without the shields but it still finds the actual cheat program as a false positive and deletes the cheat. I reported the false positive to avast via their report portion of their av.

Use Microsoft Security Essentials.

It's free, and doesn't flag trainers.
