@Llanziel: what’s your avast version (build number)? thanks
vlk, this does not work for the free version correct?
thank you 8)
I haven’t tested this program yet, but I got a sandbox alert when I tried to uninstall
my PC TV tuner card from add/remove programs. I assume it’s a false positive?
What criteria does Avast use to sandbox a program? I later ran a scan on the uninstall folder and it
didn’t detect anything.
Since the auto-sandbox in the free and paid versions are the same it works in all versions.
Edit: See images from my running it on avast! 6.0.1091 free.
Note: my firewall also chimed in between images 1 & 3 on permissions for autosandboxme.exe.
6.0.1091 (installed from scratch yesterday) autosandbox is in auto mode
Thanks for this testing tool…!! ![]()

asyn

First Pop-Up…OA—Hit Allowed
Second Pop
Third Pop
Gotta love OA’s gigantic yet annoying and informative pop ups.
I dont get them very often but
if its early in the morning
it will scare the shit outta of U…hehehe
Are the registry keys also gone when program opened in sandbox?
Just too much for me. Like Comodo. This test is also good for anyone running Sandboxie or BufferZone.
Look for yourself. If it was opened up and run inside then sandbox it will actually not be there when you close it out.
All i get is a notice which says “modify the system”
Please can i have some guidance
thank you
Your suppose to click it…Download the program. Run it. Open it inside Avast’s sandbox. Now you will see a red box around “modify”. Now click modify. Here let me click my Staples Easy Button.
Well, the main purpose of this tool (internally) wasn’t really to test the sandbox functionality - but rather the autosandbox part, i.e. that avast! offers you to sandbox it on execution. The rest is… kind of a side effect (i.e. please don’t consider it a comprehensive sandbox testing tool :)).
Exactly. Its more like a drop my rights then a full fledged virtualzation program.
Can you please expand.
I have downloaded the tool and tried to run it.
That’s when i get the “modify” notice
Vlk, i’m writing a tutorial on how to use this tool for our distributor, but i’d prefer if there is any way to make it a two steep test where test tool itself checks the presence of these hardcoded values. Would that be possible?
So that program checks if the values were in fact written to a physical HDD. If yes, show warning that AutoSandbox is not working properly and if it doesn’t find them, show a green checkmark that everything seems to be in order.
Just a thought. It’s still a very useful tool for diagnostics.
