It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

As you can see I was connected to the cloud :dodgy: look at the beginning of the video and the sandbox was enabled. thats why its called default settings.....

I have just checked and yes you are.
BTW, I am experiencing strange things. I run a new FakeAV it passes without reaction. I run it (second time same file) it goes to autosandbox because of a low rep ...
I have asked Igor about this issue he'll give me a reply.
(BTW my test is uplauding I did it with your links so ...).

Seems to me the New V8 of avast doesn't play well with Vms cause V7 the sandbox worked perfectly on my Vm no problems.

Just an example : Comprovante.exe has not been sandboxed on your test ?
It was on mine ... So need Igor's reply about FileRep servers status.
BTW, mine (uplaud) is too long :( my test is : 30 malicious links (based on what you have also used) + 16 undetected fresh samples.
It's a bit long (27 min) but very complete IMO.
BTW, keep up the good work !

Comprovante.exe wasn't sandboxed on my test I know its very strange but what Im guessing is that Avast 8 isn't fully compatible with Vms take a look at there lastest changelog they are still fixing some issues. V7 works flawlessly on my VM

Personally, I test it on my own machine (which is Win Vista x64 4 GO RAM) and so far 0 issues or anything else. Autosandbox does its job and I also have quite a lot of autosandbox malware detections.
