SandboxieInstall64-v5.45.1 file is detected as a virus. #279
Comments
Fixing it means complaining with avast about them screwing up and producing false positives, as their customer you can do that just as good. The extent of my affords in this regard are limited to: If windows defender does not complain that's good enough. Its a free time project and I wont waste my own free time to solve problems other idiots caused by being lazy and producing software that fails at its most basic function. Can't you set an exception in Avast to tolerate the file? As yo see on VT the file is clean or else you would have > 50% AV's complaining about it. Avast being stupid should not hinder you on exerting your rights as the administrator of your PC to install whatever you want to install. Or just throw money on the problem, if you become a patron at the "More Support" tier or higher I'll complain with avast for you, but no guaranty they will listen. |
You can create a C program with 5 lines of code to trigger avast. At least that happened to me when I tried some simple tasks in a small program. I would agree with the statement that it's avast's fault and not the program's. Just ignore that false positive and continue. Or - if you don't trust the the installation routine - run it in a VM. But be careful, meltdown, spectre and other things may still be a problem and could allow your clean sandboxie install to bypass every security your cpu has built in. To be short: |
so we agree avast suxxxx so I'll close this one. |

When I try to install this file, avast antivirus detects a virus.
Please fix it! thanks!
