Momentan ist man bei der Sandbox komplett auf die Intelligenz der Software angewiesen.Ich würde gern auch manuell selbst entscheiden wollen ob eine heruntergeladene Datei in die Sandbox kommt. Am besten wäre es jede heruntergeladene Datei vorerst in die Sandbox zu schieben. Das müsste aber manuell einstellbar sein. Manch User mag das vielleicht zu aufwendig sein.

Schönen Tag,asyn system April 4, 2011, 11:02am 4 Ach daher weht der Wind. Was kann man den bei den Vollversionen da in der Sandbox direkt einstellen?

2025-04-22Doing this, banging your head against a brick wall, especially if it purports to be a part of Avast. This is shades of Emsisoft again.The best thing would have been to investigate and if found to be part of avast, leave it be. If there was an executable file in that folder you could have checked its digital signature. Why do you think Avast’s Self Defence module was trying to prevent the deletion.Do you delete all of the other folders in your screenshot. Dinobot2 September 30, 2023, 1:37am 7 I mean, I’m not waking up every day and deliberately deciding to look for things on my computer that could cause me to worry. It’s not on my agenda of things to do. Like I said, I went to my C drive folder like I’ve done a billion times and noticed the folder. With the EEK thing I was concerned I had some malware after an Avast block alert from a website (unrelated to the Avast Program Files folder) and used a scanner I had used dozens of time with no issues. It picked up those results, I googled and it lead me to the thread created earlier this week by someone else with a similar issue, and I posted in there.There was no executable file in the avast! sandbox folder, it was a small (16 kb) .DAT file, and I was already able to delete that file, so all I was left with was an empty sandbox folder. And i’ll repeat: I don’t have the sandbox portion of Avast installed or enabled as part of my Avast installation. So I googled how to delete it, found no issues or warnings from other people, and it lead to results from this forum and on this forum it was suggested to disable
2025-04-22Option when the user no longer needs access to your internet connection or when you finish troubleshooting. Enable automatic profile switching (enabled by default): Authorizes Avast to automatically change the Firewall profile when you connect to a known network with a different profile to the previously connected network.Show notifications about automatic profile switching: Alerts you each time your Firewall profile changes (for example, when you change from a Private network to a Public network or vice versa). Enabling this option may result in potentially annoying alerts.Enable raw sockets (enabled by default): Enables communication with applications that use raw sockets instead of specific communication protocols. Disabling this option slightly increases the security of your PC but creates significant connectivity issues with any applications that use raw sockets.Log all blocked packets: Enables Firewall to log every blocked packet. If you do not tick this option, Firewall only logs connections. Typically, you only need to log all packets when troubleshooting security breaches. SandboxSandbox is a virtualization tool in Avast Premium Security that allows you to browse the web or run an application in a completely isolated, safe environment. You can configure the following aspects of Sandbox behavior:Override the maximum copy filesize limit and specify the size manually: Allows you to specify the size of files that applications can duplicate for further modifications while running in Sandbox. If a Sandboxed application rejects a file, change the default 51 MB limit.Drop administrative rights and run virtualized applications as a limited user: Removes administrative rights for applications run in Sandbox to prevent applications from accessing restricted system components.Select the drive where you want to keep the sandbox storage: Choose your preferred drive.Cache web browser's files (sandbox will not be automatically deleted) (enabled by default): Save only virtualized files for web browsers, which improves the browser's performance in Sandbox.Delete cached contents: Click to immediately remove cached contents from Sandbox.Generate report file: Enable this option to ensure Sandbox automatically creates reports of virtualized applications. When troubleshooting issues with Avast Support, you may be requested to provide a report file.Exclusions: Add a list of locations that you do not want to be virtualized. Data ShredderData Shredder is a paid feature in Avast Premium Security that allows you to irreversibly erase your files or whole drives, so that there is no way for anyone to restore and misuse your data.Avast Geek settings allow you to specify which method(s) Data Shredder

Avast scores highly in these tests, indicating robust protection capabilities. It achieves a perfect 6/6 in AV-Test for malware detection and minimal impact on device performance. Avast also excels in AV-Comparatives and SE Labs tests, demonstrating efficient real-world protection and minimal false positives.Firewall and IDS Protection: Avast Premium Security includes a firewall and Intrusion Detection System (IDS), offering comprehensive network protection. The free version, however, lacks these features.USB Rescue Toolkit: This feature, available in Avast Premium Security, is crucial for combating malware that prevents booting, allowing for effective emergency interventions.Plans & FeaturesAvast offers three main products: Avast Free Antivirus, Avast Premium Security, and Avast One. The features vary across plans: Avast Essential One: Offers real-time protection, ransomware protection, anti-phishing, and PC performance scans. It’s available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android Avast Premium Security: Adds Wi-Fi security, sandbox environments, real site protection, and more.

Its Premium Security and Avast One plans offer extensive features, though the lack of plan customizability may be a drawback for some users. While it competes well in terms of protection and features, alternatives like Norton 360 might offer better value for the same price, with additional features not present in Avast.
