HI I was wondering if someone could please give more information on the Sandbox feature in avast 6.  I was just wanting to now how does the sandbox feature in avast free antivirus work exactly in terms of protecting my home computer from viruses, worms, trojan horses and malware?

I was also wondering if I could ask another question I was wondering how does the virtual feature tie in with the Sandbox feature in Avast free version 6?

I was just wanting some more information about these features that will be part of avast 6.0?  
The reason I am asking for more info is because I would like to understand these features in full before using them in avast free 6?

Sorry if I have mixed the two features up at all.

Have a great day

There are two flavours of the sandbox, a selective sandbox only in the paid avast versions and the AutoSandbox also in the free antivirus.
