Thanks for the reply. I can disable and re-enable Avast but it doesn’t stop this process. I can click the little X in the top right of the auto sandbox notification window and it disappears but the process it is trying to sandbox is still stuck in the task manager and if I go back to the explorer window where the original file is, and try to click the file again, explorer stops responding and I cannot end process no matter how much I try. It becomes stuck so bad that even if I try to restart or shut down it locks up on shutdown. It seems to be trying to look for a solution but cannot find one. It doesn’t give me the option to allow the process to run.
After I restarted I made it ASK instead of always Auto sandboxing and then it allowed me to run the .exe in question.
Note again: this is a safe .exe, just unknown to Avast.
