Antivirus program doesn't recognize/scan sandboxed files

Hi! :) I have just discovered the wonderful Sandboxie. I plan on downloading a few files sandboxed, then scanning with Norton Security Suite before recovering them. For some reason, when I right click the sandboxed file and select "Insight Network Scan", I get a popup saying Norton has cancelled the scan - "there are no items to scan". This doesn't happen with unsandboxed files. Is there a way to make Norton recognize and scan them?

I guess that's a minor incompatibility with Norton. I'll make a note to look into this, but for now it seems you have to scan from outside the sandbox.
