Hi David,
Yes, it's the autosandbox. But if I select "open normally" and "remember setting", the next time I reboot, same thing.
Funny thing is, I always get sam2.exe flagged as trying to be opened by itype. Sam2 is the Serious Sam 2 game, which I've had on thei computer for a couple years. I installed it on another computer and then brought it over on a flash drive and did a binary compare and both were the same. If I double click it to run the program, I don't get an error. If I boot, I get the "itype trying to open....... sam2.exe" (and other exe files.
As I mentioned, this just started a few days ago. I haven't added any new programs -- just seems like Avast! is suddenly seeing something it doesn't like.
The Virus Total scan showed two positives out of 41 (below)

Since it scanned with Avast 4 & 5, and not 6, it may be something in the latest definitions. In fact, when I went to upload the file for scanning, Avast! threw out the message with "Firefox 4 is trying to open......"
So it looks like a false positive with Avast! 6?
