The Avast Sandbox lets you run a questionable program without risking the safety or security of your computer.
By default, if an application is started and Avast detects anything suspicious, it will automatically run the application in the Sandbox. The advantage of running an application in the Sandbox is that it allows you to check suspicious applications while remaining completely protected against any malicious actions that an infected application might try to perform.
The browser or other application will then open in a special window, indicating that it is being run inside the Sandbox. When the Sandbox is closed, it will be restored to its original state and any downloaded files or changed browser settings will be automatically deleted.
The sandbox window in Avast Premier.The Avast Sandbox is part of all paid Avast PC products, so you can run apps, download files, and visit websites without accidentally infecting your PC.
