To the chest or delete?

    So I have been wondering this for a while now. Should I be deleting things when I run a virus scan or move them to the virus vault? What difference does it make, and if its the same then why am I given two options?

    EDIT: My question was messed up, what I get for multitasking.

    If you have the choice, delete them. Some AV programs will find items that they can't delete but may be able to move to the virus chest only. Which is why we are suggesting that you have some backup scanners that may be able to deal with them. :)
