Sandbox does not follow my choice (ask)

How could I desactivate Sandbox? actually even if I put it in “ask” mode ,it does not comply and it virtualise Chrome, Firefox and their downloads etc… Hence I can not find the downloaded files…

Hnec eI do not want the sansbox feature if I cannot control it.

What is the solution ??

Thanks Henri

What avast version are you using Free/Pro/AIS ?

The reason I ask is that there is the AutoSandbox, available in all versions and the full Sandbox, which is only available in the Pro/AIS versions. They are completely separate in how they work, setting the AutoSandbox to Ask wouldn’t effect the full Sandbox if you have the Pro/AIS version.

You could configure the Sandbox to allow some operations to happen.
Are you saying that even with that settings you can’t use the Sandbox?

I think it is a case of setting the AutoSandbox to Ask and expecting the full Sandbox to follow that setting. There doesn’t appear to be any Ask setting in the full Sandbox, assuming of course the OP is using avast Pro/AIS.

If OP uses Pro/IS, this could be caused by this settings: Additional Protection → Browser Protection → Run this browser sandboxed

Edit: correct strings

If the OP is using Free, he/she can disable it completely. But we need to hear back from the OP to find out what version and product of Avast they are using.

Yes nothing much we can do without further input from the OP.

What’s an OP ??? I’m an OPA but don’t know what an OP is. Could it be Original Poster ???
Evey time I see that used, I think of “unsub” which is used on one of the TV series.

Original Poster, I’m sure you have come across this in the forums and certainly in this context ;D

Maybe you brought up the TV reference because we have a few “unsubs” posting to the forum. :smiley:

What is “unsubs”?

In the context of the TV show, an unsub is someone under suspicion of a crime. The stars act as criminal profilers that investigate such thing as serial or mass murderers.

Are you now a mind reader too ???

Not at all. ;D I watch Criminal Minds occasionally, and I’ve also seen some of your postings concerning others in this forum. A few definitely have questionable motives. ::slight_smile:

We are getting way OT here. We still need to hear back from the OP to assist him/her.
