Title: Sandbox modification
Post by: yorkshire lass on April 26, 2011, 09:11:18 AM

I have just enabled the sandbox to automatically scan. I then ran the test to see if it was working properly and a message popped up saying " Modify System". The sandbox seems to be working as when I opened a photo editing application another message popped up to say that Avast had automatically placed the application in the sandbox. I am using the free edition 6 of Avast; please can you tell me how I modify the system ?

modify what ??? ;D ... that was just the test, an attempt to write entries to the registry, ie when you click on "modify system", if the entries are still actually written, it would mean that the sandbox doesn't work, just a test okay, there's nothing to modify ::)

Thank you . Still don't see why it's posted though. If there's nothing to modify why tell me to do it ?

As posted before, it's an autosandbox trigger file.
It's NOT a sandbox efficiency test tool.

I love the Yorkshire accent.
It reminds me when I was growing up in Durham a long time ago.

I watch the TV (telly) program The Royal each week to keep my ear tuned to the accent:

Well, I live about 15 miles away from Scarborough where "The Royal" is filmed so I guess that I will sound like one of the locals!

I went to Scarborough and Whitby many times and all the towns around where I live have these names.
