Sometimes viruses attach themselves to files on your computer vital to its ability to work correctly. Moving a file to a chest allows you to see how your computer reacts to this file not being used anymore without deleting it. The chest is simply a temporary place for the virus until you decide whether you can erase the file or if you should keep it. While the virus is in the chest it cant harm your computer

i would use avg anti virus instead but if you have less ram and hard disk space i would download ewido anti-spyware microscanner - that detects for trojans, worms, spyware, ad aware etc.., and its not even 1mb, its less. its portable to use.
Moving it to the chest will sort of de-activate the virus, which is better than deleting the whole file, in some cases, like when a system file is infected, and you couldn't delete it, Avast moves it to the chest, where the virus will be monitored.

Of course, if the file infected isn't a system file, it's okay to delete it.
i think it's the same, but i am not using it now. if you still have prolems switch to kaspersky
first let me tell u what is chest-

Chest can be thought as a special folder on your computer that is safe and isolated, which makes it a suitable place for storing specific files...u can still work with it...

i would recommend.only important files to movie into chest....while others should be deleted..!!

ths will surely help..!!
In the chest its safe (it cant do any harm) and it allows you the option of restoring it if you find your system reacting badly to it being removed, although if it isn't a system critical file and your computer operates fine without it you can delete it from the chest but I would wait for a few weeks before fully deleting it just to be safe
