Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

  • No, it's not, when a virus blocks a file stored in a sandbox, it does not affect the system.
  • However, the virus program does not necessarily recognize other parts of the program. It still takes analysis to determine what. Also, the virus vault must be emptied to delete the original files
