I received an email response from Avast! support.

Their response: "Thank you for your report. Only solution is to add the application to "Trusted processes" list in Avast! Behavior Shield Settings as you mentioned. We will pass this report to our QA team. We are sorry for your inconvenience."

So, it looks like this problem will take a long time to fix, if ever.

Meanwhile, I found another application that has the same problem. It is AceMoney Lite from http://www.mechcad.net/.

I think the incompatibility comes from the avast behavior monitor which doesn't like what Sandboxie is doing, and this is not something that I can fix in Sandboxie.

So, what is the status of this problem?
Is the solution to permanently tweak Avast!?
Is there going to be a fix in Sandboxie?

The unauthorized modification is probably the way Sandboxie 4 itself is trying to modify the program in the sandbox to take control over it.
And not something malicious that program in the sandbox is trying to do.

Some more testing/info:

I did the following:
1) I set Avast! Behavior Shield "ON" for all suspicious behavior including "Monitor the system for unauthorized modifications". (This is the default setting).
2) In Avast! Behavior Shield Settings I added Website-Watcher to the "Trusted processes" list.

Now WW works in Sandboxie 4.04.

My Conclusion:
Avast! thinks that Website-Watcher is trying to make an "unauthorized modification" when initialized by Sandboxie.

Questions:
1) Is this safe to do?
2) Is the "unauthorized modification" going to take place in the real system or in the Sandboxie sandbox?

Well, i just realized that Avast Antivirus was the culprit on my side too, as reported by Zeff.

Im currently running the latest version of Sandboxie (4.04) and removing Avast resolved the issue. I will try disabling of the behavior shield as recommended.

Thanks.

Does that mean that we have to "compromise" system security when upgrading from Sandboxie 3.76 to 4.0x?

Keep in mind that lowering the system security level affects all programs, not just those running in Sandboxie.

For now, I am sticking with 3.76.

Thank you for the reminder PeterPan. In version 4.05.01, Sandboxie warns about compatibility issues with avast and BitDefender and the Known Conflicts page describes the settings in avast and BitDefender that have to be changed to resolve this.

Just to make sure, not only avast. Bitdefender as well as i posted above.

I can see that you're disappointed that I didn't reply in that topic but I just didn't have much to add. I hope I will be able to figure this out, but so far the only hint is that avast is causing this, which apparently isn't very helpful in your case.

Otherwise there is not much I can do about your problem until you identify what is causing it.

No, not avast!. I started a thread sometime ago reporting about my problem, and that we're using Microsoft Security Essentials. I also mentioned, back then, that because we're dealing with a system on a SMB we cannot simply uninstall MSE to verify whether or not its the cause.

This is the thread in question: http://www.sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=15096

One use also reported there that he/she also has the same issue, but is using Avira, not MSE. The other security application in common with that other user is Microsoft EMET.

I started that thread near the end of March (3 months and half ago), and I don't want to sound rude, but you simply never replied back to that thread, at all. That's unfortunate.

Hi, I also had the same problem with several of my games, and they all worked fine once i turned off the option "Monitor the system for unauthorized modifications" under behavior shield settings. I actually set it off when starting then turned it back on once it was running but the game kept on working fine so it seems to only matter when applications are starting, or when sandboxie is initializing.
Btw, it used to work perfectly fine in ver 3.x

Hope it gets fixed
