I have run a full scan using McAfee twice in the past two days and each time it has encountered trojan JS/Redirector.dg in C:\Sandbox\User\DefaultBox\user\current\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ou4hy8lv.default\cache2\entries\499F9EB362AF6C63CAAF9A00948472B0, which it has cleared.
I have only just started using Sandboxie and I start Firefox sandboxed, so I don't understand how a trojan could have escaped.
Can anybody explain what I am probably doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Trojan in Firefox
Hello JW01,
If you have given full access to the Firefox profile or cookies/history, then they can modify your host:

That location is inside your Sandbox, it has not escaped, it is contained as expected. If you delete your Sandbox contents, it will delete that entry as well.C:\Sandbox\User\DefaultBox\user\current\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ou4hy8lv.default\cache2\entries\499F9EB362AF6C63CAAF9A00948472B0
