Sandbox Not Working?
And yet another issue with Bitdefender Antivirus 2012.
Using fresh Windows 7, 64 bit.
I7 quad core processor with 8GB ram (so that's not the issue)
When clicking on sandbox icon in taskbar of browser (Firefox 7.1) nothing happens.
Is it supposed to work only in IE?
Anyone else see this issue?
Thanks....

Can anyone respond to this please?
what is supposed to happen when I press the sandbox icon?
Is the browser supposed to restart in a new window?0 -
Hi Maaz.
The browser should restart and all your tabs from the current session should be opened in a sandboxed window.
Do you have the latest build installed?
0 -
Thanks for clearing that up..
Well, I can safely say, it does nothing to that effect, does not work at all.
Yes I have latest build installed and got updates set as well.
It's not working in any of my browsers...0 -
Hello,
Are you sure you don't have 2 instances of the same browser open? This can be easily missed especially on Windows 7. When you click on the 'sandbox' button in the BitDefender toolbar, a second browser should open in sandbox.
Try to delete the browser cache settings and browsing history, restart the browser and check to see if the issue persist.0 -

just to clarify, I work with computers every day.
so yes, I am sure I don't have two instances open..
It does not work in chrome, firefox or explorer, so deleting cache (which I have already tried) will solve nothing I am sure of that.
It just acts like an totally inactive button.0 -
come on guys... again totally no response..
this is getting so frustrating, seriously.0 -
Is anybody doing anything to address this issue?
I get next to no response from bitdefender support....0 -
why has this bene moved to safebox????
I'm talking about the SANDBOX functionality which has nothing to do with safebox.
Please move back to general.0 -
Moved it back to General. The issue was already addressed and escalated for resolution. However, for the time being, I don't have an ETA for the fix. I have asked for one and I'll contact you as soon as I will have the answer from the Dev. team.

Hmm, having the same problem.
Seems that sandbox is only working when you're logged in with administrator credentials.
Sandbox doesn't work with restricted user credentials.

Hi
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Have used your Guest account to access Sandbox or a standard account?
Thank you.0 -
come on guys.
did a remote session with Dan ages ago.
Now all has gone quiet yet again?
Daniel, any progress on this?
Thanks.0 -
Welcome back Maaz
Danny is not available for the moment. Do you have the latest build installed?

Do you have a ticket ID created in the system?
We are looking forward to hearing from you. Have a nice day.0 -
Yes I have latest build installed.
Yes I have ticket pending.
Not being funny, but I suggest you as Daniel about this.
I really do not wish to repeat all the same steps for the fourth time since logging this issue with yourselves.
You have all the information, just look in your system, Daniel did a long remote session and he promised me a solution or at least an update within a week.
That was weeks ago.
Please get your customer service in order, I mean it when I say I do not wish to repeat the same remote sessions and logging for you guys again.
I did it over and over, enough s enough.
Hope you can appreciate that as it takes me a lot of time and it should be an issue that should be fixed by you guys straight after the first ticket.0 -

For goodness sake..
What's the point in doing all these remote sessions and then not passing the results on?
You should have a record in stead of asking me for all these details.
This is seriously annoying.
This means that this problem still hasn't been looked at?
Look, here's the email Danny sent me shortly after
I don't know what Danny did or how he logged the issues...
I think I will seriously look for another solution as I am still on trial, and bitdefender would have to offer me one heck of a deal after all this hassle (firstly with youtube issue, strange internet behaviour on speedtest.net, laptop mode STILL not working correct and settings not sticking and now this sandbox issue as well)
All the above reported items are still not fixed, except the youtube lag... the rest is still not functioning properly

well, my trial will run out in 11 days.
Will this be fixed beforehand as I am not willing to invest in licenses whilst all these problems persist.
Please advise.

hellooooooooooo??
Can I get an update please?0 -
For God's sake can someone please at least let me know whether these problems are being looked at?
I've reported these issues over a month ago and after some initial troubleshooting and some shared sessions with Danny (who apparently does not work with you guys any more... no idea why...) it has gone completely silent.
I am still on trial version which is about to run out and have heard nothing the past month regarding these issues...
I would like to have an update, either by PM or in this topic.
I will definitely not invest invest in this product if these problems do not get solved..
Thank god for the trial, shame it has taken this long to sort this out (and it is still not fixed)
Please, please someone from bitdefender give me an update as like I said before, trial is about to run out and I will not purchase licenses to a faulty product.
Thanks...0 -
Hello
The procedure was changed starting with the last update.
Please start your machine in Safe Mode.
[How to restart in SAFE MODE]
- Restart the computer;
- Press the "F8" key several times before Microsoft Windows begins to load; you need to press "F8" until you will be displayed a text menu;
- Select "SAFE MODE"
Open this file with Notepad:C:\Program Files\Bitdefender\Bitdefender 2012\settings\sandbox\settings.ini
Modify log level to 1( loglevel = 1 ) and reboot your machine.
After this, the log will be created in C:\windows\system32\bdsandbox.txt
Now let the machine run for 2 hours, pack that file in a ZIP archive and send me a PM with it. Thank you very much.0 -
ok, will do.
will pm you link to download location of log around lunchtime.

Welcome back Maaz.
That file has been forwarded to our Developers for analysis.
I will get back to you when I have new data.
Thank you.0 -
and all goes quiet yet again!!!
come on guys...what's going on here?0 -
Welcome back Maaz.
We have a new version of Sandbox ( http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?sho...t&p=130652) in internal testing.
We are running some investigations and we will see if this issue is reproducing on the testing machines. If not, when the product update will be released, the issue will be fixed without your intervention.
Thank you.0 -
Hi Maaz
I have some fresh information regarding this situation. Our testing team analyzed that log and we did discovered the issue: there's a space in your username and Bitdefender couldn't that correctly.
Our developers from Sandbox are working to solve this issue before the next product update is released.
Thank you very much for your support.0 -
Hi
With latest upgrade 15.0.35.1486 sandbox is still NOT working.
Also, I changed my username to one without space, still sandbox is not working.
So I don't think that's the issue here.
Please keep me posted when this will be fixed, as I was told it would be with latest product update but clearly it hasn't.
Thanks.0 -
Hi Maaz
As you can see here
http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?sho...st&p=131129
the last update didn't include any updates for Sandbox.
I will post here the details when the latest version of Sandbox module will be released in the market via Automatic Updates.
Thank you.0 -

I understand that, maybe next time don't say that the developers will fix it BEFORE the next update
that might safe some confusion on customer side.
Thanks for the update anyway, guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer.
keeping my fingers crossed it won't take months before this gets solved...
I did report this months ago...
thanks...0 -
Hi Maaz

The sense of the phrase is: hopefully the fix will be available in the next product update(the last one).
Thank you.0 -
Any idea when the update resolving this issue will be released?
This has now taken sooo long...
A product should work out of the box, this is taking months to sort....0 -

This is REALLY starting to p!$$ me off now..
Is there anyone monitoring this?
This has now taken months, and even though presumably the culprint is found, it is still not fixed.
I am starting to really dislike the attitude of ignore the user here...
Update please?0 -
After latest update my sandbox is still not working.
I am not happy with this, this is going on for months and months now.
I am using this product even though it is not doing what it is advertising.
And all due to the fact my username has a space in it?
That should be easily fixed and should have been done ages ago.
What's happening, why is nobody keeping me informed?
What's the deal here people???0 -

That may be an issue for me. As I installed the Suite with the latest build update on a PC that has a space between my name, Jonny Quest, and Sandbox is not working with Chrome, IE, and FF.
When I enabled a Guest account (one name), and ran Sandbox from there, it worked perfectly, with FF and IE. So is it maybe a space issue? When you tried, and after you changed your PC name to one without a space, did you then re-install B.D. so it could "cleanly" pick up on your new PC name into its files etc?0 -

I use my PC for work, and need a space in my account name, so doing that is not an option for me.
It should be an easy fix for Bitdefender s they have found that this is indeed the issue months ago but still no fix....0 -
I understand, as even though for me, this is a personal PC and I could change my name, I don't want to, and would think we shouldn't have to.

Hello
The fix was made, but the this version of Sandbox did not entered in the latest product update.
When it will be available, I will let you know.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.0 -
This problem is still not fixed..
Come on people, how long does it take?
Together with laptop mode settings not sticking, this is a major let down.
You clarified and identified the problem months ago yet there is still no word on a solution.

Is anyone even monitoring these forums?
The lack of correspondence and not giving clear answers is driving people away from this software.
What's the deal people?
Can anyone keep me posted here?
I am a customer nonetheless...0 -

I cannot use also the Sandbox (Windows 7 HP, IE9); run as simple user; not admin.
Get an access denied for a Java component (see attachment)....

Right Bitdefender support...
What's happening regarding this?
I now have 51 days left of my subscription and nothing has been done to resolve this problem.
I will certainly not be paying money to renew if this is not solved...0 -
