kernel32.dll , winsock.dll, wsock32.dll in my Virus Chest

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

This week I realized the folllowing:

I found several time the files kernel32.dll, winsock.dll and wsock32.dll in the windows\system32 folder appeared in my Virus Chest. I think it’s really weird to find these 3 files in the chest, because they aren’t infected, so it’s normal, the program it’s behaving normally?. I don’t know. From time to time I delete them from the chest , and apparently following a random/pattern behaviour these 3 files appears again.

Someone can tell me what’s happening, I don’t reckon it’s a threat but it’s some sort of annoying stuff

Thanks in advance

Yep, it’s normal. If you look closely, you will see that they are in the system section of the chest. Avast put them there as backups.
