Should I leave detected malware/viruses in the "Virus Vault" or empty the the vault? If I empty it where do the viruses go?

Robert, Standard info. for the items in the Virus Vault… leave them there for a little while to ensure that your system is working ok… then you can empty the vault at that time. If something is going wrong… then that info. may be helpful in finding a resolution such as possibly replacing a file that may have gotten infected etc… It won't matter if you just leave the files in the vault, just don't leave them there long so you can reclaim the space they currently take up. As to how long… will depend on how much you use the computer… if its often… usually a week will be more than long enough.

'Empty' is for all the files in the vault. 'Delete' allows you highlight & select individual files in the vault… Either way they are gone completely!..
