I just installed Avast IS ver7 (formerly using the freeware on this pc) and was testing the sandbox. I went to Softpedia to try download “Erunt” from their servers so as I will see how my download manager will behave(Freedownloadmanager). When it was time to download “Erunt” the download manager would not start and Firefox was telling me that there was a problem with a script plugin for Freedownloadmanager. I did able to download “Erunt” via the Firefox downloader and “not” from my download manager.
(a) What happened there? an somebody explain this to me please as I am trying to understand how this works.
–Edit – As I enabled “All settings and components(extensions, add-ons etc)”, my download manager was able to launch okay. See image attached for the “Downloads folder” content(tried MVPS host file instead --smaller).

Also, when I manually launch the download manager in Avast sandbox(via the right-click option) I was able to download “Erunt” with it but when I was to transfer “erunt.exe” to the “Downloads folder” via right-click option(See image) it was not there.

(b) Where is it then? Kindly see the settings for the ‘sandbox storage’ and ‘web browser’ for Avast Sandbox.

About the ‘delete contents’,
(c) If I click that will all the contents of the assigned sandbox storage be deleted as well?
(d) If I set ‘Automatically cleanup sandbox storage’ say, for 30 days, will it automatically all the contents of that ‘assigned sandbox storage’…?
I always manually transfer downloaded contents from my download manager to the “Downloads folder” after each session/after AV scan.
(e) If I set the “Downloads folder” as the sandbox storage will all that contents be deleted “always” whenever I hit ‘delete contents’ or set as in the scenario of (d) after 30 days?
(f) As I was trying to post this topic I happen to have difficulty attaching the image with “Postimage.org”. The ‘Browse’ button is not working. That was the ame for “Bild.me”. What’s happening here? Is there anything that I can set or do? I already clicked “All settings and components(extensions, add-ons etc)” but it’s still the same.

Been a long time user of Sanboxie and though I did not have any issues with it I am trying out Avast’s because I would like to maximize my options(I have a license so I might as well use it with the features!)
Please bear with me on these inquiries and thanks
