Ok hey everybody! My avast! Just said that it found 11 virus and asked what to do. It recomended to put in virus chest so I did that. Now IDK what to do, should I delete them from the virus chest or something? I got Winows XP Professional 254 mb 37Go if it can help. If you need any other information just ask.

The Virus Chest is a quarantine.

Virus chest

 

 

 

As our customers wished, we included so called Virus Chest to avast! 4 (sometimes called virus quarantine).

 

 

 

The Chest can be thought of as a folder on your disk having special properties that make it a safe, isolated place suitable for storing certain files. You can work with the files in the Chest, even though with some security restrictions.

 

 

 

The main properties of the Virus Chest are complete isolation from the rest of the operating system (no outside process, i.e. no virus either, may access the files inside) and the fact that the files inside the Chest may not be run (i.e. there is no danger in storing viruses there).

 

 

 

This is because, in case the thing you delete turns out to be necessary, you aren't screwed over, as you can restore it.

 

 

 

If you're sure it's a virus or w/e, and you feel like it, delete it if you find it necessary.

 

 

 

Items can also be removed from the chest by running Avast!, and going to the Chest module, highlighting those files under Infected Files one wants to remove, and selecting Delete.

Ok so if I just leave the virus in there I'm safe? Cool

 

 

 

Thank you for help.
