Winamp update Avast warning help

learninmypc · Oct 28, 2011

I think it was yesterday I received an update from Winamp so I went to their website & got it.
Now, sporadically when I reboot, I get this

& would like to know which option to choose? I've left it at recommended but it still comes up. I wouldn't miss Winamp if I have to uninstall it. TIA

Open normally. Winamp is safe... unless you don't trust it.

Sandbox is nothing but it trying to run it in an environment that you can test it to make sure it IS safe. But assuming you don't think Winamp is going to eat your data for breakfast or turn you into a bot, you should be fine.

Thank you very much. Will do such next boot up.
