avast! sandbox folder

[DavidR]

Even if it was there or not is immaterial to what is on your system and the actions you took.

That still doesn't mean the first action you should take is deletion.

Now you're doing what you should have done first off. However all of those are at least two years old.

It would at least help me narrow things down.

Is anyone else willing to check their C drive root folder and see if avast! sandbox exists there, and then respond "yes" or "no" ?

[DavidR]

The question you have to ask yourself what does it matter if it is there or not, is it actually causing any problem.

With that I will end my excursion down this path.

[Dinobot2]

Because there is the possibility that it's the result of other malware.

What other malware would create a folder that Avast would be protecting with the Avast Self Defence module.

This is the second time you have stated you will stop engaging in this thread, only to engage on the very next reply.

To answer your question: I don't know. I'm just trying to narrow things down and see if this is normal, appearing randomly like this. I'm running a MalwareBytes scan without Avast installed, but I thought asking if others have the same folder in the same location was a fair question to ask.

If you're simply just trying to teach me some sort of lesson by not answering the question I ask, then please take your own advice and stop engaging in this thread. You're wasting my time and yours at this point.

Final time - if you are trying to piss me of you can say you have achieved that.

From what you have done in this regard, you clearly haven't got a clue.
