Cannot Disable avast Sandbox Win 7 PC

[REDACTED]

I had Avast Free AntiVirus on my PC - I uninstalled it. Sandbox is still active - I dont want it. Ive tried avastclear.exe - no change, Ive deleted every reference to AVAST in my registry - no change.

I want Sandbox GONE - the same way Avast is NO LONGER on my Win 7 PC. Appreciate any help here.

Could you screenshot where you are seeing it

See attached. If you want to chat about this or "take over" my PC with a remote tool that is fine. Thx

When you had Avast did you set your browser to always run in sandbox

Strange thing is that the red border seems to be around the desktop, instead of the browser screen.

Greetz, Red.

The only Avast I ever installed was the FREE anti-virus version which I believe does NOT come with Sandbox (although somehow I "have it"). Regardless - I did not make any settings about Sandbox.

Background - last Friday - something "happened" on my PC...screens not right etc - but NO Sandbox. I did have Sandbox issues some time ago - I either fixed it or it went dormant. I did a full image (C:\) backup to Wednesday. Even after the backup - things still not right with my PC - but NO Sandbox. At somepoint...I noticed that McAfee Live Internet was consuming my CPU. I got rid of it (never liked it anyway). Install Avast. After install - several times...I re-did Wednesday full image restore - which oif course did NOT have Avast.

Current state - my PC is back to "normal" with the exception of red box. So you know...whenever I try to MOVE a window with a drag and drop...its border turns red and when "drop" is completed, the window goes full screen.

Appreciate your continued expertise in this. Thx...JonB
