Answer 5

You've done the right thing...

In the famous words of JibbarJabbar (a Top Contributor here), "Quarantine first, then delete."

Items in quarantine are safely segregated from the rest of your computer and can do no harm; but in the unlikely event that they may be false positives, they are still available to be restored if necessary.  Just go about your normal computer activities for a week or so, and assuming that everything continues to run properly, *then* delete them permanently.

Answer 6

Leave them in the Chest, they are safely quarantined there and can do no harm.

The Chest also contains important Windows System32 files which are placed there during installation to protect them from infection.

The Chest has a preset 250mb capacity, should it ever exceed that then older virus files are safely deleted by Avast to make room for new ones.
