I don’t use the Avast Sandbox and have uninstalled that portion from my Avast Install. For some reason, it must still exist on my computer. Everyday, I get a message from Avast saying that it found 2 Rookit Hidden in a a hidden folder that is used by Avast Sandbox. Attaching screenshot. How do I get rid of this Rootkit and how can I permanently remove Sandbox?
A reset of sandbox/safezone should remove it …if you still have those settings see picture at bottom here http://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB17#artTitle
You may also try reinstall http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
Thank you for your help! I was able to uninstall it which got rid of the virus as well.
I guess I spoke too soon, as I got an alert email saying that it found 2 root kit hidden again. Same 2 files as last time.
