Sandboxing+in+Avast+Antivirus

Avast provides a free antivirus program for personal use, as well as premium versions with additional features or for commercial use. [|Avast Free Antivirus] offers only auto sandboxing, while [|Avast Pro Antivirus] and [|Avast Internet Security] offer both auto and manual sandboxing. Like CIS, each Avast product automatically runs suspicious programs in the virtual environment; by default, the utility will prompt you before doing so.
 * Sandboxing in Avast Antivirus **

Within the Avast settings, you can specify programs you want to exclude from being sandboxed automatically. Manually running programs inside the sandbox with the Avast premium products is similar to using CIS. You can select a program to run via the main Avast program window (under the Additional Protection, Sandbox tab).

If you prefer, you can right-click a program anywhere in Windows and select Run in Sandbox or Always Run in Sandbox.

Unlike CIS, Avast gives you the sandboxing options even when you right-click a shortcut rather than just the executable program file itself. Additionally, you can specify that a program always run sandboxed even when you open it normally. Avast also gives you more sandboxing settings to customize, such as limiting which sandboxed applications can access the Internet.

Avast Free Antivirus is great for automatic sandboxing, but if you want manual sandboxing or Web browsing protection, consider upgrading to the Avast paid products or using another utility. The premium editions of Avast are good for manual sandboxing, but you still might want to try another application, such as Sandboxie, for advanced customization and use.
