As to the disabling of UAC - isn't that something that increases your security? I'm using Win 7, and it is set to low (or whatever the setting is called...) and I don't find it too disturbing.

Yes, and I didn't mean it as a suggestion ;)
It's just that my way of using the computer is probably slightly different from most people (copying files to system folder to check some avast! behavior, running special logging versions which create their log in C:\ for easier access, attaching a debugger to running processes... too much troubles with UAC :)).

igor,
The issue that avast! Auto-sandbox doesn't trigger on my Desktop  is caused by the software "Fences".
Thank you for your help.

Can you tell me something more about this software? What does it do, can it be downloaded somewhere?

Thank you, Zyndstoff. That is the software I use.

igor,
Fences is a free desktop customization software and you can download it from their official website.

Very strange... What does Fences have anything to do with autosandboxing not being triggered?
I use Fences and it never (it can't) block autosandoxing...

Why uses Fences with Windows 7? Just pin everything to the superbar.

To hide icons on desktop? To group them?

Everything I use daily is pinned. No desktop icons at all including the recycle bin. Just my wallpaper and forecast gadget.

Tech,

I've got no idea. :'(
1. The same file ( AutoSandbox Test Tool ) on Desktop but just in different way to appear. http://k.min.us/imXf60.png
2. Run the left one → AutoSandbox can't be triggered. http://k.min.us/inb4sW.png
3. Run the right one → trigger the AutoSandbox pop-up and get message with red frame. http://k.min.us/inb61e.png; http://k.min.us/inbvM0.png

kyokodash2, I can confirm the behaivior...with a similar fence setup and the tool inside or outside a fence autosandbox does not take any action - no red border.

Run from explorer, it generates an alert.

This is not limited to just the tool, but other things that generate alerts, like OTS. Behavior is the same with fences.

EDIT: Also...not just AutoSandbox tool :P (Doesn't happen every time though?)

Hello,

Same problem here, I use Fences, and when I run it directly from my fences desktop, Avast! doesn't ask me to run the test tool in the AutoSandbox, but when I go to the desktop by windows explorer and I run the test tool, everything is working well.
